Sunday, September 10, 2017
Many despondent environmentalists are turning their focus to the 2018 midterms as their only chance to get a seat at the policy-making table. That is a big mistake. By focusing on 2018, we're ignoring elections that will have an enormous impact on climate change and the environment -- the 2017 mayoral elections.

The last few weeks have rocked the environmental movement. In the wake of the November elections, environmentalists are deeply concerned about the future of the Paris climate accord, the rollback of federal environmental protections, and even the fate of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency itself.
But one of the environmental movement's biggest problems is the same now as it was on November 7: Environmentalists aren't voting.
