Innovative, Effective Responses to Climate Change

 BE SURE TO VISIT  OUR RENEWABLE ENERGY & SUSTAINABLE LIVING FAIR
OCTOBER 28, DOANE STUART SCHOOL RENSSELAER, NY  
The recent news about climate change, hurricanes, firestorms etc is sobering and relates to a significant, often overlooked, cause of climate change namely, the massive amounts of food that we throw away.

This ends up in landfills and, in rotting, emits methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. We seem to be challenged by climate change wherever we look.
