Our objective is to educate first ourselves and then others on important issues surrounding climate change.

Our major areas of focus are:

  • What are the facts about climate change? How big is the problem?
    Understand the facts surrounding climate change and the magnitude of the problem it poses.
  • What can we do, and what are the effects of actions?
    Evaluate the practicality and effectiveness of the many possible means of mitigation, including consequences (intended and unintended) of employing them.
  • Educate.
    Educate ourselves and others about what we learn.

Our regular meetings are the third Wednesday of each month from 12:30 to 2:30 pm at the LWVBAE office.  We welcome all who are interested.
