Wayland Town Crier 11/17/16: Local group gears to fight climate change. When local climate activists learned about the results of last week’s national election, they said they felt rage, fear and devastation as well as determination and resolve. “I think we all understand that as climate activists we are now part of the resistance,” said Wayland resident Sabine von Mering, who led Thursday’s meeting of the MetroWest chapter of 350 Massachusetts.
