Coming up next:
Climate Change Concerns
Saturday, April 9, 2-4 pm
Significant slow global warming seems almost certain. Recently, the possibility of other futures has been raised. Some researchers report that global changes may be greater, more dangerous and perhaps irreversible sooner than previously calculated.
Global dimming is also a growing concern.
Learn about our prospects and the likely consequences for nature here and our way of life. Major disruption has been predicted.
Join Marcelo Mena, a University of Iowa climate researcher, and member of Engineers for a Sustainable Future, as he address these and related questions, including what can we do about it.

Food forests mimic native ecosystems while enhancing productivity and minimizing maintenance. Their multi-layer plantings are beginning to extend across the nation. Find out about this exciting development and their urban possibilities. (More details)
