This is an event outside of Queen Anne's At Home but we think some of our members may be interested.

Do you care about the threats associated with global climate change, but you’re not sure what to do about it? We have an amazing opportunity for you to transform your concern into leaning more about the issues and taking action! 

Through a new arrangement with Village to Village Network, the Retirees in Service to the Environment (RISE) Program – developed by researchers at Cornell University – offers evidence-based environmental education and leadership training to adults over 60. This educational program will inform you about the science of climate change and other key environmental issues. The knowledge and skills gained during the program will prepare you to make a real difference in your community. 

If you missed the program on March 9th, here is a link to the presentation:  https://youtu.be/pS-8pWyNh54
