Hi folks<\/p>\n
Our next Climate Change meeting will be March 3rd at 10am at the Fireside Room at VCC. To find the Fireside Room, go to the cafeteria and walk through the back of the cafeteria to the stairs or elevator. Walk or ride to the top which is the 3rd<\/sup> floor. The Fireside Room is along the corridor. It has spectacular views, a fireplace, AV setups, tables we can arrange, all the amenities.\u00a0 We are inviting VCC students to join us. There will be some of the best cookies you have ever tasted! FYI Tuesday Group that day will be Kris Hallberg \u201cThe Economic Impact of Twin Metals: The Harvard Study\u201d.<\/p>\n We are meeting at VCC because March 3rd<\/sup> is voting day \u201cSuper Tuesday\u201d It is Minnesota\u2019s first presidential primary. The Senior Center will be busy as it is a polling place.\u00a0 Meg Heiman and Bill Tefft are our hosts, thank you. Meg is teaching Comp 2, her students have chosen Climate Change as the topic for their writing this semester. We will resume our regular climate meetings at the Senior Center in April.<\/p>\n At this meeting we plan a general discussion of climate change. Bring your questions and ideas. What aspect of the problem worries you? We can include the big topics like energy, food, population, immigration, and climate justice issues. If the \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d gets passed will it solve our problems?<\/p>\n We can also try to cover some local affects like changes in species of trees, animals and bugs. We may also be facing droughts, floods and wildfires. There will be public health impacts too. Should we try to mitigate, adapt, or both? What actions can we take either personally or as a community?<\/p>\n Come and meet some VCC students. Share your hopes and concerns. Eat some cookies.<\/p>\n
