Climate Week

Under the leadership of the Office of Sustainability, Montana State University student groups organized an Earth Week full of learning and activities.  With a noon opening on the Malone Centennial Mall,  "1.5 Minute Climate Talks"  was a unique event based on the respected IPCC report and gave individuals 90 seconds to speak about their experiences and ideas regarding climate change. The Department of Political Science led the enlightening and informative discussion, as the large gathering explored the urgent need for action and solutions to protect the planet.  "Anyone can speak their peace for 1.5 minutes on any topic related to climate change. Free Popcorn!" as cited by the announcement.

During a discussion later in the week, Kath Williams participated as a panelist on "Climate Change and Energy/Built Environment."

The week closed on Friday, Earth Day, with the evening called "NextGen Eco Fest: Music, Art, and Activisim for Climate Change."
