Earth Speaks Series
Earth Speaks is a monthly series offering guest lectures on a variety of environmentalist topics:
Everything Indigenous seed sovereignty to the effects proportional representation could have on governmental climate action, and from green retirement planning to the effects of old growth forests on human immune systems.
We hope you'll join us at our next event!

Next Up!
See you in September! Earth Speaks is taking a break for the Summer, but we'll be back next September with a new series of speakers advocating for the environment in every possible way, from city-subsidized home solar to building a tiny native pollinator garden on your balcony, from local biking infrastructure to national climate action plans and how you can influence both. In the mean time, CHECK OUT THE EARTH SPEAKS PLAYLIST, step outside, and listen to the Earth itself. See what it has to say. |

What Does Real, Local Climate Action Look Like?
~ Gabriella Kalapos
