Climate Change Common Sense
September 9, 6:30 PM, South Bellevue Community Center
Join Eastside Audubon and Seattle Audubon for an informative evening about impacts of climate change in the Northwest and the “common sense” aspect of it all--in contrast to uninformed hysteria or defeatist apathy.
Speakers include State Representative Deb Eddy, Dr. Jonathan Harrington, author of The Climate Diet, and Brid Nowlan of the Washington Invasive Species Coalition and Audubon Washington.
