Focus on Arts and Ecology

 Dear Friend,

This morning I awoke to an apocalyptic sky.

This is the view today from my apartment in the San Francisco Bay Area:

Fossil fuels, rising temperatures, and forest fires are changing our environment in fundamental ways.  Today, our irresponsible reliance on oil and gas has altered the color of the very sky I see.

Thanks again for pushing California Governor Gavin Newsom to stop supporting fracking and drilling.

On a day like this, there is a lot that you and I can do to fight climate change.  You can bet that California’s political leaders are paying close attention to how the state's voters feel about our smoke, fire, and orange skies.

Will you please join me and take the following actions right now?

1.  Call Governor Gavin Newsom and leave a message urging him to stop making climate change worse.  

You can reach the Governor at (916) 445-2841.  And if the line is too busy, you can also send an email here:  https://govapps.gov.ca.gov/gov40mail/ 

Here’s a sample message you can leave based on today’s events:

“California’s skies have turned orange as a result of climate change, rising temperatures, and forest fires.  I urge Governor Newsom to stop approving fracking and drilling permits.  The governor is making climate change worse.”

2.  If you use Facebook, please share my post of the view from my apartment.  People need to see what is happening here.

3.  If you use Twitter, please share my tweet of the same picture.

Thank you -- let’s push our elected officials to face the truth.  Fossil fuels are destroying our planet. This is no longer a hypothetical.  This is real.

Sincerely,

Sunjeev Bery
