We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast,
Join us on Thursday, October 8th at 5:00pm for the 2020 George D. Aiken Lecture Series featuring a special conversation with New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jonathan Safran Foer to discuss his newest book, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast, the unifying and achievable call to action we need in these polarizing times.
We Are the Weather explores the central global dilemma of our time, climate change, in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. Foer reveals how the task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves, and that only through collective action will we save our home and way of life.
Drawing from history, science, religion, personal stories, and more, Foer shines light on the human condition and society at large, revealing how to broach difficult conversations with people whose opinions differ from our own; how small, quotidian decisions really can make a difference; and how to actually take action, do something, and change the world. A message sorely needed in today’s divisive and often overwhelming times, Foer’s words unite and provide some much-needed direction on what we can all do to make a difference.
We encourage you to RSVP quickly to save your place in our live, virtual event.
