While we believe that climate change is real and serious, we also believe that catastrophizing our situation isn’t helpful. We won't inspire change by instilling fear in people. Instead we want to engage in conversation and debate from a place of genuine curiosity. Why are so many people skeptical about climate change? How is climate change connected to issues we deeply care about, such as job security, healthcare, and the cost of living? Are electric vehicles really the answer? Join us as we dig into these big, messy subjects, and hopefully, we'll all learn something along the way.
