Highland Park Public Library

Lower-Level Meeting Room/Auditorium

Join Go Green HP and the League of Women Voters to discuss Saving Us by Katharine Hayhoe. Register to receive the Zoom link.

Called “one of the nation's most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how.

This discussion is a collaboration between Go Green HP and the League of Women Voters of Highland Park/Highwood. Register to receive the Zoom link.
