Mattapoisett Free Public Library hosts a third discussion of Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation by Paul Hawken. Climate change is an important and timely issue across the globe, and communities everywhere are mobilizing citizen action groups and local committees to respond to the crisis. Coastal communities, such as Mattapoisett, are at increased risk for erosion and tidal flooding due to the effects of climate change. Join us for a discussion of Paul Hawken’s latest call to action, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, and get the conversation started about how our community can get to “net zero.” We will meet at the library, 7 Barstow St. and via Zoom on Saturday, February 5 at 11 a.m. to discuss the sections on People and Energy. Participants will also contribute to the creation of a list of actions for Mattapoisett citizens to take in living a more sustainable lifestyle.
Copies of Hawken’s book are available for free to any interested participant. There are just a few copies left. To get a copy, email Jennifer Jones at jjones@sailsinc.org or click the link located on the grant page, Start Locally – Live Sustainably, on the library’s website. The books are yours to keep after the program and there are many copies still available.
Register on the library’s calendar of events to attend in person or get the Zoom link to participate virtually. Contact Jennifer Jones at jjones@sailsinc.org if you have any questions about the book or the discussion.
