Sunday, September 18, 2pm, Mees Hall [Capitol University campus], north side of E. Mound St. between College Ave. and Pleasant Ridge Ave., Bexley, Ohio
This September, Green Bexley is exploring the most impactful actions that we can take to be more sustainable. Inspired by Project Drawdown and sponsored by the Bexley Community Foundation, Capital University, and Simply Living, we’re excited to learn alongside you and take action towards a more sustainable future!
Ambitious action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to keep the increase in average global temperature below 2 — but preferably 1.5 — degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Unfortunately, we’ve already raised the temperature by over 1 degree since 1880. The actions must be big, and they must be implemented on a large-scale, worldwide.
Not all actions are equal, and not all actions are applicable. This month, we’re exploring the most impactful actions that can be taken by Bexleyites, and hope you’ll join us!
