Climate Solutions Virtual Workshop –
Hope for a Healthy Planet Online
This program will be presented via Zoom at the Lubec Memorial Library on April 22 from 6-8 PM in our Community Room.
Climate Change can sometimes feel overwhelming, but did you know that we already have the solutions we need to solve it? Knowing which solutions are most effective can help us set priorities and lead us away from anxiety and into hope. Please join us for a special Earth Day presentation by Laurie Manos of Citizens Climate Lobby & Education, to learn more about a few of these varied solutions and how they can be combined to reduce emissions to keep our planet healthy. You’ll come out of this program equipped with knowledge about climate fixes from the global MIT ENROADs model and what you can do to make a real environmental difference. Join us!
