In “Abundance,” Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue many challenges — including climate change — stem from the U.S. not building enough clean energy, housing, or transit. For Cape Cod, it asks: how do we build resilient infrastructure faster to meet this moment?

Spring reminds us why we do this work. We love this place — the marshes, beaches, neighborhoods, and people — and spring shows us renewal is possible.

Using less salt, applying it smarter, and keeping snow piles out of storm drains makes a real difference. When snow melts, everything on it flows into our ponds and coastal waters—and on the Cape, that matters.

King tides + winter storms can cause coastal flooding on the Cape, even on clear days. Plan ahead, avoid saltwater roads, and remember: marshes and dunes are natural buffers that protect our communities.
