September 25, 2020 Climate Uprise
For Climate Week, VICE has launched its biggest initiative ever -- Climate Uprise. Today, every single VICE Media Group site across the world is striking from the daily news cycle and, instead, only telling stories about the climate crisis. We've also partnered with an international group of young climate activists, who each proposed one way people could help mitigate climate change's devastating effects on their home; you can find their stories at ClimateUprise.Vice.Com.

From The Distance, we're resharing a recent episode about the oil spill off the coast of Mauritius, and one volunteer's efforts to help mitigate the damage.
