Listen to the following quote by famous historian Howard Zinn. “You can’t be neutral on a moving train” Blair is currently in the process of planning the Blair Climate Summit. Their goal is to launch a revolution to get young people to pay attention to our changing climate, to learn the terrifying pace and timeline of these changes, and to spur this generation into action.
