Coffee with the College - Hope Might Save the Planet

Overview

“How addressing human injustices like poverty and gender oppression makes us better able to create hope for people and the environment. Our efforts to protect endangered species preserve biodiversity on the Earth—and when we protect all life, we inherently protect our own.” – The Book of Hope Kayla Reed, Discovery, Systems, and Digital Strategy Librarian, and Liz Queathem, Lecturer and co-chair of the Sustainability Planning Committee, discuss the ideas expressed in “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times” By Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams.

Can we save our planet by caring better for our fellow humans? What role does hope play in saving not only each other, but the planet? Everyone is welcome including community members, students, faculty, and staff to foster conversations across campus and community. Light refreshments will be served. No RSVP required.
