Hey CATs,

In last weeks CAT Salon West #d-cat-salon (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/C0144BR1CSX) we celebrated the actions we’ve taken and are planning to take (see attached screenshot). I’ve been super impressed with the amount of stuff people have been doing in so many different parts of their lives and it was great to see different ways of driving action, whether through volunteering, policy work, giving talks and sharing knowledge, changing careers or learning something new. :green_heart: Even if you didn’t participate at the last #d-cat-salon (https://climate-tech.slack.com/archives/C0144BR1CSX) , please see this message as a reminder that you’re doing amazing work and we’re all extremely lucky to have you in this community. Take care of yourself as well though and take breaks when you need them. :relieved: :herb:
