Global Warming Challenges & Solutions

"Global Warming Challenges & Solutions" Presented by Susan Loomans 2pm February 6, 2011
At Arboretum Cohousing 1137 Erin Street, Madison, WI Melting arctic ice, droughts in the west, record-breaking floods, tornadoes in January. These are some of the headlines we read about each day. But what do they mean? As it becomes clearer that these events are related to human-induced climate change, the more important question becomes “what can we do about it?" Sue Loomans has studied climate change in places ranging from the Midwest to as far away as Antarctica, and is committed to working on the climate crisis. She also works as an education specialist for Transwestern Sustainability Services in Milwaukee. Previously, she was Executive Director for the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance, a non profit organization that promotes sustainable building practices across the state. Please join this visually stimulating and thought-provoking journey into the most important issue facing our planet. Discuss everyday decisions that can make a difference. Look at ways that each one of us can become a leader in the climate movement through our communities, businesses, and governments. This Event is cosponsored by Transition Madison, the local 350.org group and the Four Lakes chapter of the Sierra Club. For more information: madpara57@gmail.com
