SUMMARY:Travel with Climate Awareness
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nClimate Café: Travel with Climate Awareness \n“Hour for hour\, flying is the fastest way to heat the planet.” \nKimberly Nicholas\, Under the Sky We Make\, p\, 153 \n  \nFor many North Americans\, travel has become a significant and meaningful part of our lives. We travel for business\, for adventure\, to connect with family\, to escape our hectic schedules\, and to expand our worldview\, amongst other reasons. However\, for all the people who are concerned about our changing climate\, travel feels increasingly problematic. \n  \nThis Climate Café conversation will touch on three themes. \n\nWhat is the actual impact of our travel for the health of our climate? This section will look briefly at some of the statistics related to different forms of travel and the prospects for low-carbon technologies.\nCan “regional joy” be an answer to your climate and travel concerns? This element of our conversation emphasizes travel satisfaction and happiness within a manageable distance around our homes.\nCan carbon saving tips and contributions help to offset more distant travel? For many local residents\, seeing family means going outside the region. In this section\, our presenter shares many travel “tweaks” that can reduce the carbon impacts of distance travel.\n\nWe hope that this can be a genuine conversation where attendees can share their thoughts and suggestions related to travel. No registration required. \n  \nThe Climate Café Series 2024 aims to be a helpful\, informal gathering place where Acton residents can discuss a fossil fuel free future.  Local people who have experience in clean energy technologies and lifestyles will share their insights and answer questions from others who are considering these technologies and who are exploring ways to reduce their carbon footprints.   \nMany thanks to the Acton Memorial Library for co-hosting this event.  \n  \nEnergizeActon.org is a joint effort of the Acton Climate Coalition and the Town of Acton Sustainability Office. Interested in lending a skill? Contact us HERE. We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
