Climate Change Solutions with Kim Piracci
Kim has always had a close relationship to earth. She started gardening with her father when she was old enough to drop corn seeds into the trough as he hoed. She and her husband have vegetable gardens, flower gardens and 8 chickens. Aware of climate change since before she can remember, she thought the government would need to take care of the problem. Immediately after the 2016 national election, she realized that the US government wouldn’t be taking any action at all. She decided that she personally must do everything she could to limit the climate crisis.
So Kim retired her business as an independent jewelry appraiser last year. She is a homemaker, turned jewelry appraiser, turned climate activist. She trained with Al Gore twice, the first time in October, 2017. Then recently in August in Minneapolis. Her mission is to work with others to limit the climate crisis. Kim is honored to serve on the Orange County Commission for the Environment and the Orange County Planning Board. She feels that her most important work is Chair of Climate Reality, Orange County Chapter, and speaking to others about the climate crisis.
People can call Kim at 919-260-3686 if they would like me to give a talk to their group. She can speak about the Green New Deal or just about climate change and solutions. She can speak to groups of 2 to 2000. Or email me at piraccik@gmail.com (mailto:piraccik@gmail.com)
