This week Talking Climate is hosted by two people who’ve felt climate change firsthand on the field: retired pro soccer (football!) player Imani Dorsey and current pro Jasmyne Spencer.
⚽ Good news: Athletes everywhere are speaking up on climate and people are listening. Efforts range from integrating sustainability into college sports to climate-proofing community playing fields.
🌡️ Not-so-good news: The heat is already here, from Imani’s near-collapse from heat exhaustion after a match to triathlons cancelled, youth tournaments suspended, and pro games played under wildfire smoke this summer alone.
📣 What you can do: You don’t have to be an athlete or a climate scientist to make a difference. The most powerful thing any of us can do is use our voice, sharing our own story or backing teams and events going green.
