Transportation Lab’s Climate Change Forum #2 – Sat May 11th:
Those who have a deep interest in building a healthy and resilient community are aware of how transportation affects building that community. The Transportation Lab’s 2nd forum will be to develop a “multi-solving” plan that can simultaneously help solve many seemingly intractable social problems and make Port Townsend and East Jefferson County a model for other communities. Since transportation affects so many other issues, we need to work together to solve problems. Any honest solution to address the climate crisis must include a significant reduction in transportation’s 40% of Greenhouse Gases emissions. Reducing GHG emissions will help build a model community based on people walking, biking, and using excellent transit. We in Port Townsend can demonstrate how to live the good life without ruining the planet. Invitees include other “green groups”, environmental organizations, health professionals, schools, marine science, construction and development for housing, and peace and social justice, and you! Help T-Lab develop an action that will lead to political will on the part of our local leaders. This forum will include few speeches in favor of much interaction with others who share this area of interest. For further info contact David T. or call 360-301-6005.
Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Location: Friends Meetinghouse, 1841 Sheridan St., Port Townsend
