For this to be a truly successful and informative event we invite you to join us at The Metropolitan in Glen Cove on Saturday morning, March 20.  Here's why you need to participate:

• Our environment is central to all the issues that confront us. There is much that each of us can and needs to do to make the world a better place to live-short- and long-term. We need to understand climate change better and come to recognize how it will impact our lives, the lives of our children and grandchildren, and generations beyond.

• We have put together an exciting and motivating program for you, anchored by great speakers on a range of environmental issues. 
• Professor Hillary Brownfrom the Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY will speak on green jobs.
