Climate on Tap – Mon November 4th:
The session topic is “How Do You Talk Respectfully With Others About Climate Change?” If you can’t discuss what you care about with people who might disagree with you, what you going to do? What techniques and strategies are most helpful in having thoughtful, effective communication? Co-sponsored by Local 20/20 Climate Action and Jefferson County Public Health, this is not a lecture series, but a book club & discussion format. Each session includes information to get the conversation started, followed by group discussions that include what locals think and what locals plan to do. For further information email Laura Tucker or call 360-379-4491.
Time: 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Location: Finnriver Farm and Cidery, 124 Center Road, Chimacum, WA
