The following events are being offered by progressive groups in our local area.
Climate Reality Leader Training - April 14th - 16th In San Antonio NM
Las Vegas, NV
Climate Reality Leadership Corps
If you are interested in being trained as a Climate Reality Leader, there are 5 trainings this year in the US. The trainings are coordinated by former VP Al Gore, along with other speakers, panels and breakout sessions. The training is free, but you have to provide your own transportation and housing. You have to apply and be accepted. I was trained in August, 2019 in Minneapolis and highly recommend it. After the training you have access to all of the training information, slides, etc. You have to commit to do 10 activities in the following year, but that's not hard, and they can be small activities. Just go to www.climaterealityproject.org.
Trainings this year include:
Las Vegas, NV March 8-10
San Antonio, NM April 14-16
Raleigh, NC June 29-July 1
Detroit, MI August 11-13
Orlando, FL September 3-4

The Faith Leaders Caucus from QCI is sponsoring a “Plant 1000 Trees” event this spring. We would like to co-sponsor this event, and they will be handing out free trees at our Earth Day Fair. If you would like to sign up for trees for yourself, another organization, group or business, please contact Susan, Shirley or Lori from the Environmental Forum and we will see that you get the number you need. These oak trees are donated by Living Lands and Waters.
