"Climate Change: Can Elders Make a
Difference for our Grandchildren and
Future Generations?"
Join Paul Severance (CSL), John Sorensen, Elli Sparks, and Leslie Wharton for a live online conversation on the future of our home, the Earth on Wednesday January 17th...
This Webinar will share what we know about the potential impacts of climate change in the lifetimes of our grandchildren. We will focus on the critical role elders can play to make a difference, discussing options available to all of us, not only to take personal responsibility for our carbon emissions, but also to activate our powerful elder voices to bring about the national, state/provincial, and local policy changes that are essential.
Our panel consists of leading activists, who will discuss how the unique voices of elders can make an essential impact in preserving a livable planet, and options for how each of us can make a difference.
