Dear all,
My name is Levy, and I am a part of a small group communication course at the University of Washington. Our small group is an environment-based group and we, as I’m sure many of you are, are concerned about the climate crisis. What started as a school assignment turned into our passion project. That’s why our goal is to help Seattle be a pioneer in the fight against climate change.
The city of Seattle's population is growing at an exceptional rate. According to macrotrends “The current population of Seattle in 2020 is 3,433,000, a 0.79% increase from 2019.” More people means more cars, more cars means more traffic, and more traffic means more pollution.
According to The International Panel on Climate Change,
“Without increased and urgent mitigation ambition in the coming years, leading to a sharp decline in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, global warming will surpass 1.5°C in the following decades, leading to irreversible loss of the most fragile ecosystems, and crisis after crisis for the most vulnerable people and societies.”
