Local farmer and climate activist Laurel Green will lead a two-hour workshop on mitigating global warming at the First Congregational Church in Manchester, using initiatives from the book "Drawdown" by Paul Hawken . This workshop is designed to shift the conversation around global warming and is useful to anyone interested in climate crisis issues. It is meant to give people an encouraging place to stand and a clear idea of what actions they can take to contribute to reversing global warming.

The workshop, developed by the Pachamama Alliance in collaboration with the Drawdown Project, includes several short videos, listening exchanges and group activities. A handout with 100 Drawdown Solutions will be available to take home. "Introduction to Drawdown" fits well with the local climate action groups such as 350 Vermont, Planet A, Living Earth Action Group and church climate action teams. The event is hosted by Earth Matters, 350VT Manchester.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, email Annie at dolivoanne@gmail.com
