Climate change is affecting human activities and threatening our environment and the way we live. Become better informed about the climate crisis by learning about environmental justice, how it impacts girls and women, and how to take action locally and globally,  while understanding and appreciating diverse perspectives and learning how to respectfully communicate and collaborate across differences. Engage with guest speakers, panelists, participate in workshops, and go on field trips to:

  • Blue Hill Compost & Bioreactor
  • Federal Superfund Sites 
  • the CT Dept of Energy & Environmental Protection
  • the United Nations in NYC

Through these site visits and other activities, you will learn about and address the need for people of all cultures, races and socioeconomic backgrounds to receive fair and equitable protection from environmental and health hazards.
