A new spring series created by the Conservation Commission in Greenwich will explore the interconnections of healthy soils, water quantity, transportation, climate change and residents, as an important part of the equation,” said Aleksandra Moch, environmental analyst.
And, Pat Sesto of environmental affairs in Greenwich said, “Taking action to create a world, which is both nature positive and carbon neutral may seem like a big ask but it is essential to securing long-term human health and prosperity and to helping prevent future global pandemics.
Looking ahead, it is crucial that we rebalance our relationship with nature to secure a sustainable future for people and the planet.”
Virtual Wednesday webinars at Cos Cob Library in Greenwich starting at 6:30 p.m. will not only reveal the human impacts in our own backyards, but will also provide local solutions to alleviate them.
