CLIMATE CHANGE: WHAT YOU CAN DO

With weekly reports of extreme weather, fire, floods, etc. now the norm, many are asking what they can do to address climate change. This fun class is designed to turn good intentions into action. Participants will learn about: green transportation, home energy saving, home electrification, recycling and composting, climate friendly finances/investing, making dietary changes, impacting policy, and more. Optional goal-setting and group support strengthen the class’s effectiveness. Fortunately, we can take action with a variety of approaches to safeguard the planet, lower our carbon footprints, and in the process save money, increase community, and improve health.
