    Many people say that learning about climate change feels overwhelming, and at times depressing. The world is massive and a lot of the contributions to climate change are out of the average person's control, but if you’re like me and you want to know what you can do, learning about your specific environment is a great place to start. Every environment is different, and learning about what the natural environment is in the place you live along with how climate change has affected it is an essential part of taking climate action in your community. For those in the Quad Cities there are already multiple organizations that are awesome resources to get started in learning about your community's climate action efforts. Prairie Rivers Network (PRN) and River Action have information about the Quad City environment and ways to get involved in making a difference.
