‘Yellow Vest’ Protests Shake France. Here’s the Lesson for Climate Change.
The France fossil fuel tax increases were part of the annual increase since 2014 to meet France's effort to reduce climate change. Instead in 2018 the fossil fuel tax increase was seen in a different light, touching a nerve with rural French who were struggling financially to make ends meet. The yellow vest protests across France show the need to take climate change action that takes into account the needs of the financially vulnerable families. Even supporters of climate change action joined the protests in this report in the NYT.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
