Pamela Tate, age 75, did not foresee becoming a full-time volunteer leader of climate reality actions at grassroots and national levels. As a member of the Climate Reality Project-Chicago Metro Chapter, Pam co-chairs the Task Force on Electrifying Public Transit. In two years, they engineered a commitment from the Pace suburban bus system to change from diesel-powered buses to an all-electric bus fleet by 2040. At the federal level, Pam is on the Regenerative Agriculture Team which targets working with legislators and agricultural committees in the House and Senate to include RA incentives in the 2023 Farm Bill. She chairs the Federal Advocacy Team to retain climate provisions in the Build Back Better Act.
Pam is an elected member of the Board of Directors of American Forests, a national non-profit that promotes trees as one of the best technologies for pulling down carbon from the atmosphere. Pam’s advocacy includes many more teams and pilot projects in her quest for a healthier planet. Pam presents to college classes, companies, and community groups on the climate crisis and effective strategies for change.
“My climate action efforts range from electrification of public transit to regenerative agriculture to forestation in urban areas.” – Pamela Tate
