Thanks for the excellent Up-Goer Five example about climate change. I use that platform, too, in my graduate Translational Ecology course at Utah State. Your text flows a lot more smoothly than my description of a rare plant project, largely because "plant" is not one of the ten hundred words. I end up with "green things that grow in the ground."

Urge your readers to all become vegetarians. That's a simple direct action each of us can take that makes a meaningful difference. If a reader declines to make this simple change, they aren't ready for your newsletter.

If nothing else, presenting this challenge will help your readers better understand their relationship with climate change.
