Before 2030: A Livable Future for People, Planet, and All Life
Thursday, September 21 | 12:00 p.m.
Consumer trends and corporate practices over the past 50 years have set our planet on course for catastrophe. We stand at a key moment in the history of our planet and our species. We can make drastic changes in our lifestyle and society, or we can watch the planet pass the threshold of no return. It's our responsibility to learn what we can do and to implement change. Join Penn State Extension's Tony Buck to explore paths to a sustainable future for the planet, humanity, and all living creatures.
Buck is a permaculture and gardening expert and sustainability advocate who has been serving Penn State Extension's Master Gardener program for 10 years. His nickname is the “Ecological Gardener” because he’s always asking, “What would nature do?”
This presentation and discussion will take place via Zoom.
