Last week, my newsletter focused on the risks of extreme heat around the world, and how to stay safe: but I could write about this every week. The US National Weather Service just introduced a new Heat Risk forecast map showing where people will face dangerous levels of heat. Last week, the entire southern US, from California to Florida, wasbaking in yet another early-season heatwave, with Phoenix, AZ setting a new daily high of 112F (44C) last Thursday.

For those of you who are new to the newsletter, this is a series where we feature realstories of people, companies, and organizations working for positive change.Because when we’re aware of the good things happening around us, it’s much easier to feel optimistic, and to find reasons for you.

Climate change is a mega problem. And more than anything, it’s a human problem. Sure, it’s a tech problem, a societal problem, a money problem, a profit-over-human-and-planitary-health problem, a biodiversity problem, and a carbon problem. The more I think about it, it’s a problem that spans over so many fields and categories, it’s stressful in itself to think about. But when you begin to peel off the layers, you find that it actually comes down to us. Humans. We are the problem.
