The goal of this presentation is to provide examples of DIRECT actions each person can take at home, on their phone, computer, farm, institution, and municipal entities. Gerald will review specific climate change adaptations that face cultural resistance, whether in your home, community or the institutions that surround us.
A list of specific actions each of us have an opportunity to accomplish in our daily life will be introduced and discussed. Both positive and unintended consequences will be identified in terms of cultural values, as well as economic, environmental and personal adaptation, as well as how positive cultural adaptations affect us at the local and regional level.
This class will take place inside CVU.
