St. Thomas East Eco Rotary Club just completed a global grant that exemplifies sustainable food systems and climate solutions. They provided solar power for lighting and refrigeration for the Bordeaux Farmers Market. Read all about it in our October 2023 newsletter! Collage by St. Thomas East Eco
ESRAG is ready for you to share news of your food systems or climate projects for our next two newsletters and blog series:
- October: Food Systems
- November: Climate Action
If you are a technical expert on either of these fields, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the environmental challenges and the ways you think Rotarians can do most to catalyze solutions. If you’re involved in implementing a solution that other Rotary clubs or districts could replicate, let us know what you’re doing and its impact, both for the community and for fellow Rotarians.
We are delighted if you want to submit an article, and glad to interview you if you would prefer. Although we publish the stories in English in our newsletter, they also appear during the same month in our blog, where readers can translate them into twelve other languages (including simplified or traditional Chinese) using the widget at the top of our website.
If you or someone you know is planning to attend COP 28 in Abu Dhabi, please let us know if you’re willing to send commentary and photos for ESRAG’s blog and social media.
Thank you to every reader who has sent stories or leads in response to our requests in previous issues. Your work is inspiring! In addition to expanding the diversity of projects that we’re able to share on our website, hearing from so many more perspectives makes our reporting vastly more representative and useful across the Rotary family.
If you love to write and would like to volunteer as a reporter covering your part of the world or a particular ESRAG theme (there are six – check them out under “Our Work” at the top of our home page), send me an email and we’ll talk!
