Orange apocalypse for the fall? Following dozens of major fires across California, the atmosphere filled with smoke and left red-orange light to filter through and tint in the sky for multiple days in mid-September. The abnormal weather was not only a sign of the danger of nearby fires, but also a wake-up call to the severity of climate change. Palo Alto High School science teacher Nicole Loomis emphasized the need to shift towards renewables. “Carbon concentration in the atmosphere will continue to increase at a rate that was faster than it would otherwise,” Loomis said, adding that the nation should “reduce reliance on coal.” Photo: Ethan Chen.

The Palo Alto Board of Education met Tuesday night to finalize discussion of and approve a plan that would start to bring students back to school. The first wave of elementary students are slated to return on Oct. 12, though many teachers indicated that they felt uncomfortable returning so soon to in-person teaching as the global pandemic rages on. “I feel confident that we have a safe plan, and that staff has worked really hard to make sure that it is safe,” Board member Shounak Dharap said. “The issues raised by the PAEA have been answered to my ear, with respect to PPE and safety measures.” Photo: Ethan Hwang.
