Channing-Murray Foundation is proud to host Carolyn Treadway on Thursday, April 24th 7:30pm to give a talk entitled, "Awakening from our Trance: Reversing Global Climate Change"

The world's leading climate scientists agree that our global climate is
changing, and that humans are greatly accelerating the natural rate of
these changes. To prevent changes which would irreversibly wreak havoc
upon our environment, our country needs to decrease its greenhouse gas
emissions at least 80% by 2050. Can we do this? Yes we can! But how?
What can individuals, groups, institutions, businesses, and governments
do? This presentation will address such questions. Al Gore's climate
slides will be used to show indications of "global warming" worldwide.
Predictions for climate changes in Illinois will be emphasized, as well
as ways the Heartland could contribute to reversing the climate crisis.
Following the slideshow, group discussion about issues and solutions will
be facilitated. Carolyn Treadway was trained by Al Gore and his team of
top climate scientists and environmental educators to be one of his "1000
Messengers" to take the climate crisis message across the land at the
grassroots level.

Attendance is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Make an evening of it! Come to the Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant for Dinner before hand! The Restaurant's new hours are Tuesday - Friday 11 - 8.
