Spend an evening with Frances Moore Lapp̩ on Friday, March 14, from 7 Р9 at the Trinitarian Congregational Church, 54 Walden Street in Concord, when she discusses Climate Solutions: Meeting the Challenge, Changing the Way We Think to Create the World We Want. Frances Moore Lapp̩ is the author of the three-million copy Diet for a Small Planet. Her most recent work, Eco-Mind, released by Nation Books in September 2013, is the winner of a silver medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. She brings her capacity for brilliant and original thinking to address the question of how best to approach the climate crisis.
In her Concord appearance on March 14, she will assure us “that solutions to global crises are right in front of our noses, and our real challenge is to free ourselves from self-defeating thought traps that keep us from bringing these solutions to life.â€
In keeping with her upbeat message, the event will open with the lively music of local singer-guitarist, Tom Yates. There will be a book signing and reception at the conclusion of her remarks. Details: Go to www.concordcan.org. The “Climate Solutions†speaker series is remarkable because it is co-sponsored by six different local organizations, joining their voices in a call for large scale, effective action on climate change. What all of these organizations and groups have in common is a deep concern about what is happening to our planet —and they are providing funds, as well as ideas and support to this speaker series.
Scientists describe a natural world in turmoil later this century if we do not take steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Gardeners and farmers see the change in blossoming time, and the impact of extreme temperatures on plants, insects and animals.
