Today at 3:45pm MT, we will be hosting our annual Spirit, Sustainability, and Reality Forum in the East Ballroom and virtually!
The ASES Sustainability Division's new Spirit-Sustainability-Reality initiative:
Acknowledges Reality: Climate change impacts are intensifying, underscoring the urgency for taking more ambitious action now (UN IPCCC March 20 report). Economical, technical, and political solutions are available, but political will is lacking.
*Embraces Spirit and Sustainability: Be Hopeful. Share Ideas. Work Together. The initiative's goal is to educate and motivate everyone to combat climate change now. These questions will guide our discussions at the Forum:
● How can we motivate/educate those who are not sure what to do about climate change?
● How can we engage deniers of climate change in a productive way?
● What can our governments do, or do better, to combat climate change?
● What else can you do better/differently/creatively to combat climate change?
● What/who inspires you to protect the earth?
● In your opinion, what else can ASES do?
We will be using the results from the discussions at the forum and on the ASES online community to create meaningful strategies for combating climate change as a community and individually. Check out our Sustainability Toolkit attached! Sustainability Toolkit - August 2023.pdf
