Close to Home: Climate, Health and Hope

We know climate change is bad for the planet. But in what ways is it bad for our health? And how can we protect the places and people we love? On October 1st, Emmy-winning journalist and author David Pogue will get the scoop from three experts on climate and health: Dr. Sandra Steingraber, a scientist who’s tracked the line from fossil fuels to cancer, Dr. Amy Brown, a pediatrician who prioritizes protecting our children’s developing lungs from bad air quality, and Jack Algiere, an agroecologist who restores human health and soil through regenerative farming. It’s time for a conversation that will change the way you think about one of the defining issues of our time. Climate change is not just an environmental issue—it’s a public health crisis. Learn what we can do now to protect the health of our families, community, and planet. Reserve your seat for an evening exploring the link between climate and human health. Plus, all guests receive a locally made tote (designed by multidisciplinary artist and Bedford 2030’s Communications Director, Harmony Dixon), an intimate in-person look at our silent auction, and hors d’oeuvres.
