League of Women Voters forum: Can Carbon Pricing Make a Difference?
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Wed, Sept 22, 4pm-5:15pm Pacific time
It's been a summer like no other here in California. Smoke and destruction from wildfires have already claimed more than 1 million acres in California alone, warmer oceans harbor zombie urchins destroying kelp forests, and the UN just released a new code red on climate change.
Wondering where to look for hope despite the current darkness? Could something as arcane as carbon pricing, a hot topic as Congress seeks to up the ante on climate action, offer a ray of light?
To find out, join the League of Women Voters of Piedmont, Citizens' Climate Education and Piedmont Connect - on Wednesday, September 22 at 4pm online via Zoom and livestreamed on the LWVP YouTube channel - for a panel discussion on carbon pricing. Q & A follows.
