From Grassroots to Tree Crowns: Organizing to Cool the Climate


Earth repair requires both micro- and macro-level tools. We will look at what is required to reverse heat build-up in the atmosphere, explore models for community and civic action to increase green growth and water absorption in soils, and lay the foundation for a new carbon economy.
