About Midlife Climate Crisis

The Story:

A lot of us are concerned about climate change and many have taken actions to reduce our climate impact. It's time we make our concerns too big and too loud to be ignored. As a global issue, climate change activism requires global effort. Following Dr. Suess' lead in Horton Hears a Who!,* our shared Midlife Climate Crisis is connecting individual efforts to be too impressively big to be ignored and too outrageously noisy not to be heard. Launching this site is me picking up my megaphone in hopes of persuading you to pick up yours by adding your efforts with the efforts of others. The louder we are the more attention we can demand for others to join us and do their part to curb climate change. Remember Y2K? How worried we all were and how much people scrambled to prevent catastrophe? Remember how much of a non-thing Y2K turned out to be? Unfortunately, we're already experiencing initial climate change catastrophes. Wouldn't it be great for our efforts to prevent the worst of foreseen catastrophes so that 25 years from now we can say, remember the pressing fears we all had about climate change?

The Creator:

I have been waiting and hoping for more public engagement around climate change and greater efforts made to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, I was convicted that instead of waiting its time to jump in and turn my hopes into action. I am a single, 51 year old woman in Los Angeles, CA, whose happiest when being a connector and encourager. My Myer's Brigg's personality type is ENFP, the Campaigner, so here I am. I have plenty to learn along the way, but my education and experience have prepared me for this adventure. My credentials include: a BA in Communication Studies from a liberal arts, non-denominational Christian college; and, an MBA from a large state university where I proudly co-led the school's Net Impact chapter. My career has included development project management for a private $100 million cultural institution and a Fortune 500 food & beverage company; philanthropy and community outreach for a private startup and for a private $30 billion 100+ year old company; and research, program development, communication, website and database development & management, employee training, human resources, bookkeeping, technology troubleshooting, primary school computer science education, customer relations and sales. My greatest passions are community development, sustainability, and good music all of which are grounded in my Christian faith. I believe that Jesus taught justice and practiced charity and calls us to do the same. I embrace big round table theology, growing from John Wesley's faith teachings with some King Arthurian influence and set to Jason Mraz' grooves. I may have created this website, but Midlife Climate Crisis would not exist without the help, expertise and friendship of those that contributed towards ensuring Midlife Climate Crisis' quality and effectiveness.
