Visiting Vice President Kamala Harris in DC
On behalf of the Angeles Chapter, I accepted an invite to the Earth Day celebration at the residence of the Vice President.

More than two-thirds of these customers were estimated to be without power for up to two full days. While this issue was isolated to Northern California, the state in general is becoming increasingly more likely to experience outages due to strain on an aging infrastructure and unpredictable weather events.

Sponge Cities - What Are They?
Scientists predict that if the world does not drastically reduce carbon emissions and prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5°C\ 2.7°F, we will experience irreversible and catastrophic consequences of climate change that could make the planet unlivable. Worsening climate change means more frequent and long lasting droughts, severe flooding, rampant wildfires, longer, hotter heat waves, and much more. However, there is one great solution every state and their cities within can adopt. It’s called Sponge Cities or Permeable Cities.
