The Greenhouse team takes a road trip, exploring the best ideas from Europe to reduce our carbon footprint and fight climate change. We look at low-carbon energy sources, public transportation, and efficient use of space. Many ideas to reduce fossil fuel emissions are already in practice in Europe, and we can borrow these strategies and adapt them to our needs in the US. We explore large and small projects, from high-speed trains to energy-efficient kitchens. Join us to learn more about the benefits of urban green space, bike-friendly cities, electric vehicles and effective mass transit. Allez!

ACTIONS TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE (IN THE GREENHOUSE #14)

Teachers care deeply about their students and the state of the world.

This session explores one way of doing this: students and teachers working together as detectives of climate denial and as delegates of climate justice. Join this educator session with James Damico, author of "How to Confront Climate Denial: Literacy, Social Studies, & Climate Change."
