Climate change is so pervasive we often don’t connect the dots. For a year, climate activist Mike Tidwell closely observed his own neighborhood in Takoma Park -- so many trees dying, floodwater racing down the street. We ask about his new book, "The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue."

Tidwell will speak at Red Emma's on Wed. April 23, and at Ivy Bookshop on Thursday May 1.
