Description:
Nearly everything we hear about climate change is either full of unrelatable graphs and statistics or fraught with doom and gloom. Come to a lunch that will give you encouraging news about what is possible, and may even restore your optimism.
Learn about Project Drawdown, the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. It lays out a path for rolling back global greenhouse gas emissions within thirty years, using techniques and technologies we already have at hand.
