In Session 1, we took stock of the climate emergency our
species and planet face. In Session 2 we began to let those realities sink
in. While these should be ongoing
activities, in Session 3, we turn our attention to renewable energy, scanning
the landscape of options to implement and advocate for, from personal to
political levels. Come with your
curiosity antennae up. Please view at
least one of the videos, graphics or articles below to whet your appetite. See you Sunday at 11:00!
