Fighting Climate Change Together

Adult Enrichment / Contemporary Issues & History -

Spring 2025

It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of climate change, but each of us can take meaningful action to make a difference. A panel of local experts will lead an insightful discussion on practical steps we can take in our daily lives. Together, we’ll explore key areas such as food choices, energy use, transportation, waste management, and recycling, identifying specific ways to create positive change both individually and as a community. Discover valuable local resources, including programs at the Robbins Library. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a personal action plan, resource materials, and a renewed sense of hope.
