Overheard at a Red River Valley Climate Action community meeting:

“That man sitting at the table over there said he’s already made up his mind about climate change,” said the woman who had helped move chairs into a circle. “He seemed pretty grumpy about it, too.”

Another member of the circle piped up without a thought:

“Well, tell him climate change has already decided about him, too.”

Thank you, Red River Valley Climate Action for hosting this event.

Martin C. Fredricks IV

Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, Fargoan (North Dakota, that is), dedicated environmentalist & climate crisis warrior, proud introvert, veteran messaging strategist/copywriter, blogger (https://ivwords.com) nonprofit founder (https://theclimateknights.org/) and big-time reader. As they say, if you're gonna write good stuff, you have to read good stuff. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-Sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; 10 so far. At age 55, I'm stilling crankin' AC/DC & Metallica, but now and again I spin some Eric Church and Black Uhuru, too. I love hanging out with my (much) better half, spending time with our kids, writing, hiking, riding my mountain bike and reading.
