111. Climate Change and Sustainable Energy short course in Skagit County 10/25

Friday, October 25: A new (nonprofit) short course on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy is being offered through the NW Center for Sustainability. Here are a few of the details:

•The course can be taken in-person (it is based in Skagit County), as an online/in-person hybrid, or entirely online; it can be taken by anyone, anywhere, with an internet connection, and participants can go at their own pace;
•Transformative experiences are front and center: field visits; participation in relevant public hearings and events; films and public presentations; engaging (optional) online activities to supplement in-person experiences; thoughtful discussions
•There is no set “agenda”; the goal is to have experiences that inform and make an impact;
•Practical knowledge is strongly emphasized: to understand attempts at “solution,” and ways to make a difference; to help with course participants’ volunteer or paid work; to help folks consider climate change or sustainable energy-related career directions;
•Diverse age groups are welcomed—from precocious “pre-adults” (for they are indeed the future) to senior citizens;
•Key results of the course will be well documented on the internet, for maximum impact;
•The course is low-cost and “nonprofit,” with a sliding scale and scholarships available to those who need them.
