  • Climate solution| In your previous essay you discussed what you think should be done. That may have included multiple solutions. This time, do a deep dive on one. Make an argument for one specific well-researched, evidenced based solution to the climate crisis

  • Art|  What are artists doing about climate change? Research articles about musicians, visual artists, theater performances, writers and other forms of art. Make an argument for the role of art in addressing the climate crisis.

  • Movement| Research the climate justice movement. You could look at the history or it’s current iteration. You could focus on the role of BIPOC, youth, women and LGBQT folks in the climate justice movement.
