The Resilient Butte Project and Families for a Livable Climate bring personal stories about climate change to the forefront. All Montana families need a livable climate and thriving environment to ensure a bright and secure future. We also need good jobs, healthcare, and equitable access to education and other opportunities. These stories reflect these shared needs. Our hope is that by sharing stories, Montanans can find common ground and come together to ensure strong protections for our shared climate, and a livable future for all of our families and this beautiful state we call home.
Butte-Silver Bow, the National Center for Appropriate Technology, and Montana Technological University are partnering to develop a community resilience plan aimed at boosting local business development, growing green energy, and protecting our community and its natural resources from the impacts of a changing climate. Together, creating a resilient Butte means we’re preparing for a bright future. A resilient Butte means we have the tools to weather the economic, health, and environmental impacts of climate disruption.
Festival-goers are encouraged to stop by the booth and share their personal climate story!
