A Climate Science on Tap event sponsored by Cascadia Climate Action
DIY Climate Action: Tending Forest Habitats for Humans and Other Living Things!
Humans and other organisms all require healthy physical habitats to prosper. But over development and climate change are eroding those habitats, and thus our future prosperity. Most of us exist only as passive "consumers", letting the government or other organizations fix such problems. But what if we choose to be directly involved, making individual contributions, and joining together with public and private organizations that preserve and restore habitat? Could this create more citizen engagement and a sense of shared responsibility where together, we create a lever large enough to tip the world back into balance?
Enjoy fascinating and stimulating presentations as well as friendlhy conversations around the big tables at Bickersons BrewHouse in the covered, open-air beer garden - new to Ballard this year!
Individuals sharing their expertise and experience nourishing healthy forest habitats will be participating in this panel discussion. They will be available to answer questions about their organizations, and offer opportunities to get involved or potentially begin a similar effort.
