What you can do about the climate crisis
Join the David Suzuki Foundation to learn how you can make a difference!
About this event:
In this fast-paced interactive presentation you’ll learn the basics about climate change and why it’s an urgent health issue for you and your family. Most important, you’ll learn about solutions that you and your community can undertake right away to address the climate emergency – including voting in the October City of Toronto election.
As we say at the David Suzuki Foundation, the climate situation is serious but it’s not hopeless. We can still turn things around if enough people, especially youth, become part of the solution.
Please come with your questions. There will be lots of time for discussion.
Register to join the virtual talk on Thursday October 6th from 12:00-1:30 pm.
