It\u2019s tough to know where to even begin \u2014 especially when large-scale solutions fail to materialize or are set back because of politics or a priority of profits over people and the natural environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things you can do is focus on where you <em>can<\/em> make a difference, said Dr. Dana Campbell. And often, that starts with your own backyard or neighborhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t have to have any particular expertise or skill.

Before joining the faculty herself, Campbell focused on raising their two kids and enjoyed volunteering in their schools and engaging in community projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After her children left for college, she began looking for more ways to get involved. She discovered a network of neighbors who were immersed in local projects. One neighbor invited her to join the advisory committee for the Lake Forest Park Water District, and she accepted. 足彩app哪个是正规的n, in 2022, when the local city council created the Climate Action Committee, she was eager to be a part of that as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campbell\u2019s interests as a research biologist are rooted in butterfly evolution, and she is involved in community science monitoring programs to support butterfly conservation.

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating a hub<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Campbell was still chewing over ideas when she began a summer environmental education program \u2014 called  Community

volunteer, community education and more.\u202fIt would encompass a large bulletin space that could be divided into sections to highlight various organizations, provide tips for homeowners \u2014 such as how to create a rain garden or get a tax credit for a heat pump \u2014\u202fand incorporate visual elements to spread awareness, such as the warming stripes (or climate stripes) that show the increasing annual temperatures over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLake Forest Park has a lot of volunteer organizations and individuals who are doing great work on climate and the environment, but it\u2019s really kind of under the cover of darkness,\u201d Campbell said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 hub is a way to bring the work into the light, get people involved and offer resources for them to use in their own homes.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campbell shared her idea with the Climate Action Committee chair, Sarah Phillips, who eagerly jumped on board to help make it happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDana\u2019s excitement about the project is contagious,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cWith the federal withdrawal from action on climate change, local communities,

Initially part of Third Place Books, the Commons is located in the Town Center at Lake Forest Park. Both the bookstore and the Commons are named for the ethos of the \u201cthird place,\u201d as it was coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg, who wrote about the need for social gathering spaces outside of the work and the home \u2014 hence, a third place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"777\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-777x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32749\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-777x1024.jpg 777w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-768x1012.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-1165x1536.jpg 1165w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen-600x791.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/JeffJensen.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dr. Jeff Jensen, foreground, painting the mural during a community volunteer event.

Campbell approached Merlone Geier, corporate owners of the LFP Town Center complex, about creating a hub consisting of an engaging mural surrounding a large central bulletin board. 足彩app哪个是正规的y gave permission to construct it along a 40-foot wall, with one caveat: that they approved the mural design. At this point, Campbell and Phillips brought in local artists Debbie Tomassi and Staci Adman to design and facilitate painting of the mural. Merlone Geier immediately approved the beautiful representation of LFP\u2019s natural environments and gave the go ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 mural is like a magnet that draws people into the project,\u201d Phillips said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late spring 2025, the designs were complete and the mural was painted by volunteers. More than 100 children, adults and senior citizens contributed to the painting, including several UW Bothell faculty and students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the final touches are still being put on the bulletin board and the mural, the project has already received a lot of community interest, Campbell said. And when she passes through, she\u2019s excited to see people gazing at the mural or reading\u202fthe few items that have already been posted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Planning a better future<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When she looks at the Climate Hub today, Campbell is proud to see her vision brought to life. 足彩app哪个是正规的 gears in her mind keep turning, however, as she imagines all the possibilities for the hub.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, she noted, is just the beginning. Her goals for the future of the hub include a touch screen display with interactive resources, such as GIS maps with educational layers of information, as well as a suite of educational resources for teachers.\u00a0She is now pursuing this, along with Sarah Phillips and Dr. Miriam Bertram, assistant director of the UW Seattle Program on Climate Change, through a grant they just received from Thriving Earth, a program of the American Geophysical Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDana is an accelerator,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cShe can\u2019t stop thinking about what else could happen and is already thinking about next steps and ways to get people involved.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Campbell said she also hopes the hub will serve as a catalyst for similar projects in other communities that could work together as a climate network \u2014 bolstering the resilience and capacity of individual communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many ways, the hub has already begun to serve its purpose by bringing together so many people who helped make it happen, she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think about how lucky I am every day to live here and be part of a community that really cares,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cAnd not only cares but wants to get involved and be engaged.
