In the spring edition of the Playful Minds photo series, I’m challenging you to guess where I am (Massachusetts history aficionados, alert!) as well as what I am. Try turning thus into a game of dictionary. What’s in this photo? Imagine, and describe.

Climate Change is a Crisis

“We are here because there is no planet B. There’s no backup plan if we ruin this Earth that we have,” —Rev. Mariama White-Hammond at Boston People’s Climate March, April 29 2017

Honk if you’ve seen an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail in Cambridge, Mass. this summer. These butterflies gather nectar from a wide range of flowers (and thus are “generalists”) but their caterpillars depend on the family of plants that includes Queen Anne’s Lace, carrots,and dill. Join us at the Honk! Parade on October 13 and you might get to carry one of our Eastern Tiger Swallowtail giant puppets.
