Changing our light bulbs, recycling, meat-free Monday ... personal solutions to climate change are important, but they aren’t enough to fix our global problem. Our entire society is based on fossil fuels, and that’s what we have to change. And that’s why the single most important thing that any of us can do to fix climate change is to talk about it: to explain why it matters to us, here and now; to share inspiring stories of the solutions available to us today; and to advocate for change at every level, from our families and communities to our institutions and businesses.
Families for a Livable Climate, Moms Clean Air Force Montana, and Mountain Mamas are proud to welcome Katharine Hayhoe, climate scientist and communicator, for this special event. Grab your lunch and join us on Tuesday, April 6, from 12 - 1 PM MDT!
Please register early to secure your spot.
