"Carbon-free Prosperity"
Sunday, March 22 — 2:00 pm
Rob Haw, JPL Systems engineer and climate activist will look at the science and behind human caused global warming. He will delineate a range of possible solutions for slowing climate change put forth by various groups, including Citizens Climate Lobby. Rob will also give personal examples of how to decarbonize your impact on the planet.
"Joy of Low-energy Living"
Sunday, March 29 — 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Climate scientist Peter Kalmus will share his experiences as he and his family journey toward a lower carbon footprint, focusing on how using less fossil fuels turned out not to be the burden one might expect … in fact, he says it’s made his life happier!
The second part of Peter’s presentation will guide the audience to calculate their carbon footprints, then present concrete ways to decrease their impact on the planet. Please bring a pencil, calculator, and information about your driving, flying, and consuming habits, including a gas and electric bill, to get the maximum from the workshop. If not available, Peter will show ways to ‘guess-timate’ your usage.
