Believe it or not, talking about climate change is the #1 thing we can do to stop it. Think about it: How often do you discuss climate change? If you’re like most Americans, your answer is “rarely” or “never.” Our collective silence is its own type of climate-change denial.

So, let’s start talking!

Not only a powerful solution, these facilitated conversations are fun, interesting, and easy to jump intoboth for climate change newbies and for seasoned pros.

We’ll use the book The Big Fix by Hal Harvey and Justin Gillis, which outlines “7 practical steps to save our planet,” as the basis for 8 weekly conversations. Katy will also share links each week to podcasts and videos that provide additional perspectives on the topics.

Participants should expect to spend approximately 30 minutes a week reading and/or listening to material between sessions. The book can be purchased as a paper, electronic, or audible book. It can also be checked out from the library. Podcasts and videos will be provided.

Dates: Tuesdays, January 17 – March 14 (8 weeks; no class on 2/21)

Time: 7:45 pm – 9:00 pm

Format: Zoom (participate from anywhere!)

Cost: $75

Please register. Following registration, the Zoom access instructions will be forwarded.
