Event On June 7th, Stories and Science for an Unruly Planet: Confronting
Climate Change at Home, an event designed for the general public, will be
held at Bickersons Brew House in Ballard.  The event is organized largely
by Cascadia Climate Action (CCA), sponsor of the Climate Science on Tap
series and friend of the PCC Schooner series.



This will be a conversation about science storytelling and grassroots
climate action with award-winning author and journalist Madeline Ostrander
<https://madelineostrander.com/> and University of Washington Associate
Teaching Professor P. Sean McDonald
<https://environment.uw.edu/faculty/p-sean-mcdonald/>. Ostrander will talk
with McDonald about her acclaimed book, At Home on an Unruly Planet:
Finding Refuge on a Changed Earth; <https://madelineostrander.com/> how and
why she uses the tools of narrative journalism to write about science; and
what we can learn from community-based stories about the solutions to
climate change.

Volunteers wanted!  Cascadia Climate Action
<https://cascadiaclimateaction.org/on-tap/> is looking for 3-5 volunteers
to interview/converse with audience members at this June 7th event at
Bickersons Brewhouse in Ballard (7-8:30pm).  CCA wants to learn more about
the audience, what motivated them to attend the event, if/how they are
involved in climate action and more.  At the same time the hope is that
this will be a conversation, with students also sharing what they are
thinking about w.r.t climate.  Your research, how you are engaged or would
like to be engaged in addressing the climate crisis.  Come get
connected.  Please
share with anyone you think would be interested in attending, learning
more, and/ or volunteering.

Interested? Have questions? Contact Mary Manous (marymanous at gmail.com) .

Cascadia Climate Action organizes Climate Science on Tap panel discussions
to build community understanding of, and engagement with climate change,
its related causes, impacts, and solutions.  Generally, the discussions
are held at breweries and tap houses, open to all ages, and bring out
energy and climate scientists, engineers and policy experts, to share their
knowledge and experience.  Volunteer supported, the format fosters
networking, learning, and action while being a great deal of fun!
