We’ll take a look beyond what we can do as individuals and see how we can make a difference on a local, state, national, and global level.
Each Climate on Tap is held on the first Monday of the month. It is co-sponsored by Local 20/20 Climate Action, Jefferson County Public Health, and FinnRiver Cidery. This is not a lecture series, but a book club/discussion format. For further information email Laura Tucker or call 360-379-4491.
