The Monitor is to be commended for its Sept. 19 climate strike editorial calling for bold action, but the climate disaster we are facing should be addressed at the state and local level, too, not just federally.

Communities like Peterborough, Exeter and Warner are to be commended for their solar arrays. More money needs to go into energy efficiency. We need to stop investing in status quo projects like pipelines, and we must hold accountable at the ballot box those who veto climate-friendly bills.
