The Climate Reality Project Northern Virginia Chapter “Ferocious Felines” team raised $5,323.41, exceeding their goal of $5,000, for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Keep Winter Cold Polar Plunge. In addition to supporting CCAN, funds will be used to support Fairfax County’s Get2Green initiative at Centre Ridge Elementary School.
The Climate Reality Project Northern Virginia Chapter has formed its first Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Keep Winter Cold Polar Plunge Team. The Ferocious Felines NoVA Chapter Plunge Team has veteran and new plungers who will be plunging on February 10th at National Harbor.
We are so excited that so far, we have two elementary school students plunging with us – Kelsie and Laura. They have presented information about the plunge to the entire 5th grade! Kelsie and Laura named our team out of their love for all cats big and small.
Funds we raise at the plunge will be used to protect endangered snow leopards and to support Centre Ridge Elementary School where Kelsie and Laura attend. The school is joining Fairfax County’s Get2Green initiative! These funds will help the school with the initial steps, such as eliminating food waste and planting gardens. The students and the principal are very excited to get started. The funds raised at the plunge will go a long way toward getting the school off on the right note and helping to engage the community and the students.

For anyone who missed the webinar “The Road to True Net-Zero: Climate Reality’s 2030 Vision”, you can watch the recording here.
From the meeting description:
During the webinar, former US Vice President Al Gore provided his unique insights and perspectives on the climate crisis, while I shared Climate Reality’s renewed organizational vision and plan – aimed at encouraging the progress necessary by 2030 to reach true net-zero by 2050.
Because the science is clear: At net-zero emissions, global warming can stop in as little as three-to-five years and the Earth can begin to heal. That’s a future worth fighting for. With everything we’ve got.
On the call, we shared more details about our plans to double the number of trained Climate Reality Leaders, as well as our campaign efforts to halve global emissions this decade, halt the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure destroying our planet, and build a just and healthy tomorrow with clean energy.
This entails:
