What is a Climate Cocktail?
A Climate Cocktail tells a story. It may be a story of place, of people, of ingredients, of critters, or of the environment. It may be a story about a cause or impact resulting from climate change, or how to help mitigate those effects. A Climate Cocktail is a spark of understanding and awareness of our world: a resistance, a nudge towards the path to action.
