There is a lot of misinformation about climate change.
What do the scientists say?
What is the theory?

Session 2 -- Solar Energy -- What is it?
How does it work, and is it right for you?
Session 3 -- Electric Vehicles --
Learn from someone who has driven more than 120,000 gas-free miles over the past 12 years. We will cover the environmental impacts, performance aspects, and living full-time with plug-in cars.
We will cover the many options available and have at least one EV to see and experience.
Session 4 -- Driving to Net Zero -- Our journey and stories of hope for a carbon-free future.
Conclusion -- What organizations are working for a cleaner future? What can you do to help move us to a cleaner, greener future?
