Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders calls it an existential threat. President Trump says it doesn’t exist. For voters, climate change is now a top concern as we face the election.
Marin hasn’t had rain in weeks, making this year’s upcoming fire season feel ominous. And increasingly people are suffering from eco-anxiety.
What about you?
For March, please share with the IJ a six-word story — just one — about climate change. Please make it a story with a beginning, middle and end, and not just six adjectives — make us laugh or cry or feel something. And please, we’ll be extremely grateful if you include your full name and your Marin hometown, write your short story in the body of the email (not in the subject line or in an attachment), and use proper punctuation and check spelling.
Send your six-word story to lifestyles@marinij.com by March 20 with “Six-Word Story” in the subject line. Then look for the stories in the March 31 lifestyles section and online.
