Talks:
The Climate is Changing: there are things each of us can do
Talk content is specific to audience (age, focus, awareness). The reality of a changing climate is impossible to ignore. Potable water is becoming more scarce, and we have climate refugees in America. Stay tuned, as this is just beginning. We can each make a difference that will result in change.
