Environmental Forum

Purpose: To educate the citizens of the Quad Cities about environmental issues and the science of Climate Change, and to work with other environmental advocates to build sustainability across our communities.
Details About this Forum: We host events to celebrate the environment and educate the public. We initiated the Quad Cities Green Drinks chapter, and work with local environmental and conservation groups as well as community leaders and educators on local environmental issues and goals. We welcome newcomers to our Forum. Contact Shirley to be placed on the monthly notification list.
