• On his daily walk down to Gardiner’s Bay, Climate Local Now columnist Leonard Green is struck by how little we seem to value the natural systems that maintain a resilient, living coastal environment. Piece by piece, out of ignorance or indifference, we dismantle the natural services that protect our beaches, our ground and surface waters, and our coastal wetlands. Read this month’s column.
