| A new documentary series on the climate crisis... Climate Activist—
If you haven't seen the 1st episode of Years of Living Dangerously, Showtime's new documentary series on the growing climate crisis, you should.
The first episode is available free online and you can view it now on our Voices blog.
Having just watched it, I have three main takeaways: - There isn't a corner on the globe not already impacted by climate change. The first episode takes viewers from the Texas Panhandle to the Indonesian rainforests to the deadly conflict in Syria. The devastating climate crisis is already hurting communities around the world—and it's only getting worse.
- Ordinary people will need a lot of help as the climate crisis deepens. Just ask the millions of Syrian refugees. Or the Texas cattle ranchers. Or the people of Indonesia working to protect their forests.
- Many more people need to understand what's happening. There is still way too much confusion and denial out there—the climate debate has been polarized for long enough and we need a much broader awareness of how serious this crisis is.
The 9-part series will feature a mix of stories describing both climate threats as well as unique solutions from around the world. One segment, scheduled to air on May 25th, will focus on the inspiring work of some of America's best and brightest business school students who are promoting energy efficiency in American companies, cities, and universities through EDF's innovative Climate Corps program.
This is an opportunity to engage our friends, family, and neighbors in the vital discussion on the climate crisis and what it will take to solve it. I encourage you to join this conversation starting with watching the first episode free online.
 Thanks,
