How can we join forces to heal the planet while living a more fulfilling life? Can we save our future through human connections and regenerative actions?

To discuss these questions, Green Change hosted a Regeneration Meetup over Zoom on Monday, February 7, from 6 pm PT. Our speakers included Katharine Hayhoe, Anne-Marie Bonneau and Chance Cutrano.

Meet our Speakers

Katharine Hayhoe, The Nature Conservancy

Katharine Hayhoe is chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy, author of “Saving Us” – and was our keynote speaker. Called “one of the nation’s most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine thinks the most important thing we can do to address climate change is to talk about it — and she wants to teach you how. She spoke about how we can find hope and healing in a divided world, connect with each other, learn about our “climate shadow” and take action to save ourselves and the planet.
