Seattle Climate Tech: June 9 - June 15
take climate action by mending old clothes, advocate for climate policy, PNW Climate week planning, or cleaning up Fremont! 🌞
I’m excited to share several ways you can take direct climate action this week!
bring old clothes to a 🪡 Mend & Repair Workshop on Tuesday to repair them, or even spice up something new!
attend the ⏳ Climate Changemakers Seattle Hour of Action on Thursday to advocate and move the needle on climate policy
attend 🏔️ PNW Climate Week 2025 Planning on Thursday to help organize PNW Climate Week 2025!
join Soapbox Seattle to 🗑️ clean up the Fremont neighborhood and pick up trash near the canal (and enjoy the beautiful weather!)
Although sometimes individual action feels small - I’m proud of the large collective change our community is able to make!
As always, scroll down for the full list of upcoming events.
Cheers,
~ Jordan and the Climate Tech Cities Team
