Our League of Women Voters will have a voter information and environmental resources exhibit table on Thursday, June 8, 2023 at  the 2nd Annual Sustainability Conference being held at Widener University, 1 University Place, Chester PA. 

The conference coordinated by the Delaware County Office of Sustainability will feature speakers and panelists centered around Delaware County's six sustainability focus areas of natural resources, energy and efficiencies, transportation, zero waste, climate resiliency, and health and wellness. This year's Keynote Speaker is Justin J. Harris of the National Wildlife Federation. Justin will kick-off the conference with a presentation about the Climate Equity Collaborative. The Collaborative is an initiative focused on addressing the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities and youth. The initiative harnesses technology, smart resources, and digital platforms to address the human-level risk associated with climate change and its intersection with education, children's health, and equity.
