Mark your calendars! The Natural Resources Committee will hold its Ninth Annual Climate Change Forum on March 28, 2020, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the First United Methodist Church, 500 East Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.

The Committee’s annual forum on climate change will address two topics. For the first presentation, journalist Edward Humes, author of Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash, will focus on recycling and waste, especially plastic waste, in a talk entitled “Trashing the Climate: Finding the (Right) Way Back from Waste.”

Our second presentation is “Decarbonize Your Building, Decarbonize Your Life.” Ben Stapleton, executive director of the U.S. Green Building Council-Los Angeles Chapter, will discuss how decarbonization of our buildings can be an incredibly elegant way to approach reducing our total carbon footprint, both individually and collectively.
