An inspiring and impactful event in Durango happened Oct. 30. It explored the science and solutions surrounding climate change and was hosted by the Fort Lewis Environmental Center.
Four nationally renowned leaders presented their perspectives and research about the enormous challenge of our warming climate, one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Highlights included thought-provoking solutions such as sustainable agriculture and campaign finance reform.
We learned that we need hope, because fear will turn people away from finding solutions.
We learned about the impact our individual choices have on our carbon footprint and that planning a small family is one of the most impactful decisions we make.
We must expedite the transition away from greenhouse gas-emitting fossil fuels. We must believe our climate scientists. It’s real, it’s us, it’s serious.
