Location: Redlands, CA, USA

When something we love is threatened, we act. In our time, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat are all under threat. We want to act, but it is difficult to know what to do. This program will offer simple but effective actions we can all take that will make a difference. Speakers are from the University of Redlands, the City of Redlands, and ANCA Redlands (Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action). A free book will be offered with even more ideas for action.
