Dear COE faculty and staff,
When we care for the earth, we care for ourselves and the generations to follow. Earth Day is this week, and to celebrate this important time, the Nature Conservancy will be offering many exciting free presentations on Wednesday, April 21, 2021 with the theme Our Planet's Determining Decade: Facing the Facts, and Our Future. Speakers include Jane Goodall, Alexandra Cousteau, and Dolores Huerta. The Nature Conservancy asserts “As the devastating effects of climate change become painfully clear, the world has woken up to the urgency of this existential crisis. In challenging times, we often turn to the people who inspire us for guidance, so this Earth Day The Nature Conservancy will host a virtual Summit with conservation leaders, scientists, policymakers, and advocates to help show the way forward. It’s about you. It’s about us. It’s about the future of our species. Please join us on April 21, 2021, to learn about our work in the fight against climate change, and what you can do to make a difference in the Determining Decade.
