Special Evening Session on Climate Justice

Project Drawdown and the PCUSA
Tuesday, April 19, 7 pm (75 minute session)
What are the solutions to climate change?  Together we will review Project Drawdown’s list of solutions and sort out where we as individuals can act. We will debunk the impacts of recycling and brainstorm ways that we can be more climate conscious in our everyday lives. We will consider how the advocacy of the PCUSA for carbon pricing might make these solutions happen.  Ashley Nunes Coe and Len Shabman will help us brainstorm ways that we can be more climate conscious in our everyday lives and in our advocacy. No pre-work or advanced reading required for participation.

 This is an online gathering.
