350 Tacoma is building a future that’s just, prosperous, equitable and safe from the effects of climate change.
350 Tacoma works to build a multi-generational, multi-racial, multi-issue movement to create the people power needed to rapidly transform our economy and society for a just, clean, safe world for all.
We know that coal, oil and fracked gas wreak havoc on our climate, put our health and safety at risk, and target harm on low-income communities of color. Fighting fossil fuel infrastructure is one of the best things we can do for public health. We know that industry is perpetuating racial and environmental injustices that are then magnified further in times of crisis. Join us to hear how health is inseparable from climate justice and how these new rules move us closer to protecting communities!
"Alison Holman, a health psychologist and professor of nursing at the University of California, Irvine , has devoted years of research to the impacts of traumatic news media on mental health, and says that it all points to one conclusion: Limit your intake of negative news.
Holman also recommends the tactic of giving your brain something nourishing to focus on immediately after taking in some kind of upsetting news: music, a walk, a comforting book.”

World-wide, wasted food accounts for about 8 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. The environmental consequences of this are enormous. About 37 percent happens in the home, according to the group ReFED. Halving food waste in the next 30 years, according to Project Drawdown, would be equivalent to taking 2,570 coal-fired power plants offline. It would also avoid additional deforestation for farmland, preventing emissions of another 70 gigatons.
An estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste. Food waste is both a humanitarian concern and drives climate change. Here are some tips to prevent food waste.
