2020 has been the year that everyone can’t wait to be over. This year, we saw things that have never happened before or haven’t happened in over 100 years. In spite of the coronavirus, we had many environmental accomplishments at the state, local, and national level. The pandemic brought about a different kind of activism as public meetings were replaced by Zoom and conference calls. We saw hundreds of people speak out at virtual meetings like NJ Transit and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. However, we also had many disappointments this year, which shows that we still have a lot of work to do.
