LTE Topics

A letter to the editor (LTE) is a short piece, usually 150 to 200 words, that you can send in to your local newspaper to be published. An LTE offers your own perspective or commentary on a topic. It's a good idea to have someone in your CCL chapter regularly monitor your local newspaper(s) for pieces that relate to climate change and present good opportunities to write LTEs.
