About this Event

A visit to CAM is among the most effective ways to reverse the scourge of climate defeatism many of us feel today. Join CAM Curator Doug Farr in an unfiltered, small group discussion on why many people feel defeated on climate, the irreversible forward momentum on climate action (often lost-in-the-chaos), and a full-throated assertion that the fastest way to scale up climate action is by every person pledging to “do their part”. Participants will enter CAM feeling pessimistic or defeated on climate and leave feeling ready to take action.

Note: This is the only public tour of CAM guaranteed to be led by Curator Doug Farr. This event is limited to 20 participants and will sell out.
