Some Good News on the Climate

August 22, 2023

Bill McKibben, environmentalist, educator and founder of 350.org recently wrote, “If the last year has been about a phase change in our planet’s climate, the next year has to be about a phase change in our planet’s politics.”

This past week we did get significant good news about climate action, and we want to share it with you.

In a landmark case in Montana, judges ruled that youth have a constitutional right to a healthy environment, and the state must now consider climate harm when approving projects including fossil fuel extraction. This is a historic and unprecedented ruling to prevent harm to people and the planet.

Yasuni National Park in Ecuador, now protected!

And on Sunday, Ecuador’s citizens voted to halt oil drilling and to block mining in a biosphere reserve – widely believed to be the first election anywhere to keep oil in the ground.

Harlequin’s Gardens has worked to support a planet we can live well on for over 30 years. We know that gardeners like you share our values of protecting the ecosystem. Keep planting!
