What do we want? Climate Justice!
When do we want it? Now!
We are studying how climate change is impacting our community. In Lansing there are four main ways that climate change impacts us:
1. In-land flooding (because the rivers cannot handle the more intense rain storms)
2. Poorer air quality on hotter and more humid days in the summer (this is especially true in the city, where traffic and other pollution increase the ground level ozone on hot days)
3. Urban Heat Islands (we’ve known about this one for a while, but it is still true. If you have more built up spaces and no green spaces, you trap the heat)
4. More and longer mosquito seasons, with the potential more mosquito disease.
