<p> </p>
<p>Many people now accept the concept of climate change as a reality and
recognize that it is being accelerated by man-made activities. With
each passing day, the time to make actionable change to reverse these
trends is running out. The Green New Deal, a major policy initiative
championed by Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is one
example of a bold new policy idea that has been introduced as a
solution to climate change</p>
<p>Come join us at GreenHomeNYC’s April forum to hear from change makers
and policy drivers who are bringing forth some of these much needed
solutions to Climate Change, and what you can possibly do to help their
cause!</p>
