This Friday, June 21 is Show Your Stripes Day: an annual day to grow awareness about human-caused climate change, its impact, and what we as a society can do to ensure a sustainable future for the people and places we love. The Climate Stripes, or Warming Stripes, designed by prof. Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading, represent the increases in temperature seen throughout the past 150 years. The stripes serve as a stark reminder of the need for urgent action to combat the climate crisis.
