Green Schools Alliance: "We are excited to share that we have just launched our new website (a huge project that's kept us very busy the last few months)! It includes information about START, as well as a free 'member area' for school sustainability champions, where we are curating a resource library with action-focused resources, as well as discussion forums around sustainability topics. We are encouraging all school sustainability champions -- students, teachers, administrators, facilities managers, concerned parents, and community allies to join, so they can access these free resources and share what they can with our peer-to-peer network. We'd love for you to join the Community!"

"This decade is a moment of choice unlike any we have ever lived," says Christiana Figueres, the architect of the historic 2015 Paris Agreement. The daughter of Costa Rica's beloved President José Figueres Ferrer, she shares how her father's unwillingness to lose the country he loved taught her how stubborn optimism can catalyze action and change. With an unshakeable determination to fight for the generations that will come after us, Figueres describes what stubborn optimism is (and isn't) -- and urges everyone to envision and work for the future they want for humanity.
