At my post at Homemakers magazine, I get to work with writers to tell inspiring stories of women’s lives, particularly efforts to live healthfully and make the world a better place.
In the October issue, which recently hit newsstands, environmental journalist Alanna Mitchell, author of the best-selling book Sea Sick, writes about the tangible effects of climate change on the people of Bangladesh. She tells the story through three Canadian women who, through CARE and CIDA, have worked to help Bangladeshi people – particularly women – adapt to the frequent flooding that’s been made worse by climate change effects, including rising sea levels and cyclones.
Alanna’s story is a great read and a revealing look at how the carbon we release here in Canada – and everywhere around the world – has a tangible effect on our neighbours.
