Yes in Our Backyard: Climate Change & the Green Building Boom
In partnership with Santa Fe Art Institute, Homewise presents the last event of our Livability Series.
Bill McKibben will share thoughts from his wide-ranging work on climate, which includes founding Third Act, an advocacy group elevating the activism of people 60 and up; co-founding 350.org the first global grassroots climate campaign; writing 20 books, including the first book for a general audience about climate change; and contributing regularly to the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and more. He will focus on how saying yes to certain projects now can help alleviate the climate crisis in the long-term. In particular, McKibben will discuss the impact of affordable housing that makes cities denser and more efficient on cutting carbon and keeping temperatures down.
A reception and open studios with Santa Fe Art Institute Changing Climate Artists-in-Residents will follow the talk.
