Say Goodbye to Nature?

Tuesday, June 24 from 5:30 – 7:00pm online via Zoom webinar

Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) presents Say Goodbye to Nature: How the Trump Administration is Rapidly Dismantling a Half-Century of Environmental Protection. GMALL  three environmentalists, Bob Dreher, Sharon Tisher, and Jim Engell with extensive careers in environmental law, government agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, and university education on climate change and other environmental concerns, for an in-depth discussion on how the current administration is rapidly dismantling our national and state systems of environmental protection. They will focus on what is happening and what we can do about it. John Kress will moderate the conversation. In less than 100 days since he was inaugurated, President Donald Trump and his administration are on the path to undo over fifty years of environmental law. Until now, American presidents, working with Congress, have strived to build a strong national system to protect habitats, conserve species, restrict soil, air and water pollution, regulate pesticides, and reduce greenhouse gases to slow climate change. All of these safeguards to protect and preserve our environments are now under serious threat from the current administration and the Republican-controlled Congress. Registration is $20 per person. The Zoom link will be sent 24 hours in advance of the program. For more information or to register please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.
