Global Warming: Changing CO2urse
International House, Davis will offer a four-session discussion class, Global Warming: Changing CO2urse, on the complexities of global warming and its challenges. Participants will have the opportunity to explore personal responses to climate change and why society has been slow to respond, learn about the history and science of global climate change and new strategies for addressing climate change. Class members will discuss our individual and collective power to shape an effective response to climate change, enabling future generations to meet their needs. The class is scheduled from 7:00-8:30 PM, Mondays, July 2 and 9, Wednesday, July 11, and Monday, July 16. The class is free, although there is a charge of $16 for the required class textbook. The books are available for purchase at I-House for those enrolled in the class.

The Class curriculum is one of eight different classes developed by the Northwest Institute for Earth (www.nwei.org) in Portland, Oregon to “motivate individuals to examine and transform personal values and habits, to accept responsibility for Earth, and to act on that commitment”. Other topics include: Discovering a Sense of Place, Voluntary Simplicity, Healthy Children: Healthy Planet, Choices for Sustainable Living, Globalization and Its Critics, and Exploring Deep Ecology. Participants can expect wonderful readings, provocative discussions, and a deeply meaningful time. Individuals take turns facilitating the classes, and each class ends with a separate celebratory session. Classes are limited to 6-12 and may be scheduled whenever there is sufficient interest.
