Climate Emergency! Solutions for Survival

The best from the land of Greta Thunberg. Act now! Grow Local Resilience!
The climate emergency is far worse, & growing faster, than expected – with shockingly rapid deterioration of food, weather, and ecological systems upon which we depend. Green, resilient technologies are better for economy, community, children’s future, environment, and democratic government.
Learn the power of localizing and working together as a community to build self-sufficiency. It’s not only about “technologies,” but very much about cooperation and action at a local level. We can transition workers, and all of us, from damaging forms of energy and out-dated processes —and be much better off!
Join Tina Clarke & TransitionBay.ca to learn to translate these ideas into tangible actions!
Scientific evidence is now irrefutable and new reports suggest alarming trends. We are, at last, where we need to be: transitioning to a green, more resilient future. The moment to act is now. We in the industrialized, wealthier, democratic western nations are the ones to lead, from the bottom up.
Bring your questions, concerns, ideas, and voice to a community gathering of local projects working for our common good. Invite your neighbors who share your care and concern for the well-being of all.
Our guest speaker, Tina Clarke is a global educator and community resilience consultant from the Transition Movement who has been working with climate leaders in Denmark, Sweden, and communities across Europe. She will share stories and inspiring models from the lands of Greta Thunberg and the two “greenest” cities in the world, and elsewhere.
