Classes and Seminars, Environmental, Green Events

Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline), and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions can come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But, it translates to only a 10%/year reduction, starting now. And, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal. Participants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal. 281-300-8212

Finding hope in adapting to climate change can start by focusing on water. Join Jen Powis of Earthjustice for a high level overview of how the law protects or sometimes sacrifices drinking water for industrial development and how communities can work together to protect the elixir of life. The talk will also touch briefly on environmental justice principles of community led work with the reference frame around water harkening back to Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech”: "we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." 281-300-8212
