What an amazing week for a climate change-obsessed planning nerd!

Climate Action Week, with its nearly 40 free events culminating in a finale Saturday at the Grange Hall in West Tisbury, has kept Vineyarders informed and inspired.

Climate Action Week, a series of events put on by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, looks to engage Islanders in planning for the effects of climate change.

Island church bells will ring every day next week at noon, reminding us that we are facing a climate crisis and ringing out a call to action.

Early in the 1975 movie Jaws, a shark is spotted in the distance, and Amity police Chief Brody yells to swimmers to get out of the water.

In a talk hosted by Martha’s Vineyard Commission’s Climate Action Task Force, Dutch architect Matthijs Bouw said social infrastructure is essential for planning.
