Parents for Climate Protection

Parents for Climate Protection But I am also a mom and needed to take some time off to really focus on my sons. Please chime in with posts.

I used to run Parents for Climate Protection 2007 - 2010 with a couple of friends as a small not-for-profit educating our neighbors in Brooklyn, NY about the perils of climate change. In January of 2011, I moved to Maryland and worked for two environmental organizations, including Sierra Club and Waterkeepers Chesapeake on Chesapeake Bay water pollution and climate protection of our waterways. So

now in 2017, I decided to revive this page, starting by posting info about climate change, and who knows where this is going to lead. Education is clearly necessary, but how not to preach to the choir continues to be a challenge.

HÊlène Costa de Beauregard would like to share this invitation with you: Dear parents, my husband and I started a petition to ask the Nobel foundation to administer a new prize for actions against climate change.

Alfred Nobel created the prizes to reward those whose works were for the greatest benefit to humankind. What can be more to the benefit to us and our children than to act against climate change?

Those who are leading the way deserve the highest distinction, they deserve a Nobel Prize!

Please, help us open the dialogue with the Nobel Foundation by adding your name to the petition.

If they agreed to add a Prize in economic sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel in 1968, how could they refuse to administer a prize for climate actions?

Let show them that this is Prize we want to be created! The petition is at the link below
