If we want to calm the climate, if we want energy democracy, if we want to reform our governments and our economy…. this is the time to prioritize those goals above our private endeavors. We invite you to join us at The People’s Salon on Thursday, June 5, 7 pm, 111 N. Albany. It’s time we talked about reclaiming our government on behalf of the public good.
We have been compiling some reading materials that may be useful to our shared conversation about what the climate situation requires of us as consumers, voters, taxpayers, and community members. Check out the list below. You can also access the video and a podcast of our first salon on climate denial, or the second salon video and podcast on the role of business and technology. If you have suggestions to include, please email gay@sustainabletompkins.org.
