Parents for Climate Protection * is excited to present our 3rd Annual House Party for parents and children with panel discussion followed by an "arts and crafts" letter writing activity. (People unaccompanied by children are welcome, too!)
As in previous years, several amazing experts will share their knowledge on climate change with our attendees. *
*
*Professor Allen Frei, Ph.D., climatologist at Hunter College and CUNY, and Deputy Director of the Sustainable Cities Institute
*Jackson Morris,* Air and Energy Associate, Environmental Advocates of New York
*Amy Larkin** *Solutions Director, National Greenpeace
*
For the crafts activity, we provide all the materials necessary for the attendees to write letters to their elected officials on the urgent need for federal legislation limiting greenhouse gas emissions. We encourage families to work together with children creating beautiful nature collages and parents adding a message on their behalf. If you just want to come to hear the presentations and ask questions, that's perfectly fine as well.
Date: Sunday, January 25th, 3:00 p.m.
General location: South Slope
