Olympic Climate Action (OCA)  “is a group of local citizens on the Olympic Peninsula concerned about climate change, both in our community and worldwide. We seek solutions at every level, from local to international; we tend to focus on the home front, but the implications often reach far and wide. Our activities range from education, to advocacy, to lobbying, to collaborating with local community groups, to getting out in the streets, woods, and water.” Check out their “Hot off the Wire” summary of local., regional, national and international climate news.
