Mind The Planet is a presentation about what is happening to our climate (from a scientific point of view), the consequences of climate change, why so many people are confused about what is happening, and finally and most importantly, what we can do to reduce the risks we are taking. This presentation is geared towards people who are not sure what is happening with our climate, perhaps because of all the controversy in the media, and towards those who already know and care about the climate change we are experiencing and will experience, but aren't sure how to talk about it or what to do about it. Cost: By donation (suggested $10.00), all proceeds go to the David Suziki Foundation.
