Ready for wildfire season? 
We're ramping up our Summer Smart efforts as the temperatures heat up and our concern for the possible intersection of wildfire smoke and COVID-19 grows. We have new resources and info at MontanaWildfireSmoke.org,
​our companion site. ​
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and its reverberations across the country, those of us in the climate movement must speak out against racial injustice...  So begins our June 2nd Blog post . Please read and take part. 

Climate Action in the Age of COVID-19 

 We're working to build community amidst the pandemic. Check out our new page & blog for what we're thinking + how you can join. And read our pieces in the Missoula Current: Thoughts on social distancing, advocating and assisting and New possibility emerging from the pandemic pause.
Some good news!
 May 18 - The Climate Ready Missoula plan was adopted by the Missoula County Board of Commissioners and City Council.  We're happy and proud. Read more in this Sustainable Missoula column authored by city and county leaders. And this summer we're launching implementation!

During Missoula Gives, 120 individuals came together to raise just over $8000 for Climate Smart Missoula and the larger community raised almost $800,000 for 138 organizations. We are so grateful. ​Thank you all!
THE BIG CLIMATE CHANGE EVENT
It was incredible and inspiring. THANKS to the 700+ people who joined us for this powerful community conversation. Check out our blog with our big takeaways!
