Climate 101
TREES PLANTED
A fire-fighter, a doctor, a scientist, a meteorologist and a comedian walked into a room.
And so begun a fabulous day of climate stories, climate data, climate science and climate action. The event was organised by Ecolinc, Bacchus Marsh. A Specialist Science Centre for primary and secondary school students. The Centre prides itself on being a sustainable organisation so when it came to running a conference, it had to be a small carbon footprint one. Food served was vegetation, no water bottles or disposable coffee cups were handed out. Over 100 people attended Climate 101 on Monday June 18th at the Mercure, Ballarat. As a result 100 trees were planted at Flowerdale by Steven and the Flowerdale Landcare group.
Professor Tim Flannery and Mr Rod Quantock spoke about the state of our planet as too did experts working with a changing climate: a firefighter, a healthcare worker, a marine scientist, a meteorologist and a scientist from the Antarctic Climate & Ecosystem CRC.
More notes about the day are in the process of being written. Stay tuned.
