Change of Season - North

In the Northern Hemisphere, September is a month of transition, a bridge between summer and autumn. The days grow shorter, and the air turns crisp as trees change colours, releasing the growth of summer. Flowers have finished blooming, and seeds have scattered, and the earth naturally composts these resources, becoming nutrients for the soil and a winter habitat for insects and wildlife. In the calm of autumn, the environment invites us to embrace change and prepare for new phases.

At The Climate Tribe, we invite our friends and readers in the northern hemisphere to hold sustainability in their hearts as they release old growth and imagine new opportunities to fuel our collective future.
