Should have posted this sooner, but we’re having our pre-Thanksigiving and other holidays celebration tonight at Midlands Beer Garden (address below). When we chose this place last week, it was 70 degrees outside; it’s a little chillier today, but luckily, we also reserved an inside table. As far as I know, we’re all vaccinated, some come join us for just a relaxed evening among like-minded green people.
Midlands Beer Garden is at at 3333 Georgia Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20010! We’ll be there from 5:30pm – 7:30pm with at least one of us wearing a avocado green T-shirt that says Green Neighbors on it.
Feel free to bring along spouses or guests. The more the merrier!
Hope to see you soon!
Annette and Amelia
Oh, and DC’s tool library! Which we help manage along with the Department of Parks and Recreation! It’s closing for the winter, as it supplies a lot of outside tools. So check out your tools before Dec 1st. Tools can be checked out for one week. For more information, see www.greenneighborsdc.org/projects.

I am the lucky Founder and Administrator of the Climate Steps website/blog/community/soon-to-be-nonprofit , and recently also had the pleasure of becoming a Founding Member of the Board for the upcoming climate action app, Earth Hero (www.earthhero.org). As an environmental scientist for the US. Federal government and for nonprofits for over 22 years, I am about to make a major life change and become a full-time climate activist - a little risky, but necessary. I need to bring my scientific background and communication experience to climate action.
This process started 20 years ago, when I got Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Miami, FL, the pursuit of which allowed me to study the behavioral ecology of a species of mongoose in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Seeing the massive deforestation occurring in that country is what led me to work with Washington DC federal agencies and organizations, so I could focus on applying science for environmental research and action. To support that goal, I further earned an Associates in Project Management from the George Washington University School of Business. However, it became apparent that climate change is a climate crisis, and I intend to devote all my scientific and communication efforts to fighting it.
I created Climate Steps in December 2016, and I love the community discussion aspects especially, as well as the research needed to provide information to help people take action. Feedback on what you would like to see within Climate Steps (website, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram) is very welcome.
