Finding Hope in the Face of Climate Change

Watch a recording of this presentation on YouTube here!

Ordinary people have more power to change the world than they think they do. But it is hard to stay positive and motivated in the face of devastating weather and constant bad news about the environment. Please join author Susan B. Inches for a presentation on how to find your power and take action for the environment. By working together, we can create a healthy future where all life is respected, revered and nurtured. This talk will show you how.

The Wells Reserve is co-sponsoring this program with The Planeteers of Southern Maine, a grassroots environmental advocacy and education group concerned about climate change, acting to stem the tide, promote sustainable living, and protect Mother Earth.

This Ted Exford Climate Stewards lecture is supported by Dave & Loretta (Exford) Hoglund and the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Committee, Kennebunk.
