PCV Speaker Series:  Five Handy Climate Actions to Help Save Our Planet

Our presentation this month is in celebration of Earth Day, and what we can do to help in the fight to reduce the impact of climate change.   This program is hosted by the PCV Green Group.
 
Our speaker, Pru Foster, will focus on Five Handy Climate Actions to Help Save Our Planet,  in an interactive, engaging presentation about different ways you can help reduce global warming and why your actions are so vital, especially at this time.  We will start with a game to test our understanding of current climate issues, before we launch into more about our Five Handy Climate Actions.

  • What do you think when asked to reduce your emissions?
    •  Many jump to individual actions like flying less or turning down the thermostat. But there are many more ways to have a positive impact on our climate.  Dr. Pru Foster will walk us through her handy climate actions and empower us to make changes today.

About our speaker: Pru Foster, PhD, has a degree in astrophysics and was an academic researcher for 30 plus years.  She worked on problems ranging from the formation of the universe to the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the global carbon cycle.  Author of: A Drop of Grace: Finding and Protecting our Common Group and she writes a newsletter on sustainability called The Prudent Lifestyle.  She last spoke to PCV in June 2024 on climate change and gardening in the age of climate uncertainty.
