Climate on Tap – Mon October 7th:
The next session is called “There is no Planet B – how do Millennials and GenZ envision their future?” For a twist, this will be facilitated by Students for Sustainability, a group from Port Townsend High School who are dedicated to taking action to mitigate climate change at their school, in their community, their state, and at a national level. 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. The session topic for Monday, November 4th is “How Do You Talk Respectfully With Others About Climate Change?” 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 98325
