Boston--July 29, 2022. Boston led the way to American independence. Today, Boston is leading the way in producing an educated and informed population on climate change. Across the City's cultural institutions, one finds useful information related to climate change. There is an entire exhibit dedicated to climate change at Harvard University's Peabody Museum. Many other American cities could learn from and imitate Boston's experience.
