DESCRIPTION:DRAWDOWN workshops present 100 ways people are reversing global 
 warming...and you can dig in, too!  Not fair to leave a sick planet to our 
 kids!  We can do more better now...\n\nGame On: Reversing Global 
 Warming\nDRAWDOWN: 100 projects that \nsequester carbon from land and 
 sea\n\nArlene Frances Center, Santa Rosa, hosts Introduction to DRAWDOWN 
 Thurs., May 9th. 6-9pm, a workshop enabling participants to become part of 
 the solution to climate crisis. “Daily climate news is bleak,” says 
 organizer, Wayne Morgenthaler, but we must support solutions to this crisis 
 now".   \n\n DRAWDOWN workshops are slated for each city in the county 
 through Sonoma County Pachamama Alliance (SCPA).  Based on Paul Hawken’s 
 book, DRAWDOWN, “the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse 
 global \n\nThe presentation will be preceded by a short street theater 
 piece by Jessica Litwak and H.E.A.T. theatre troupe and a panel of youth 
 activists will offer views on how to engage our communities, government and 
 especially youth in the hard work of shifting toward a healthy planet and 
 equitable life for all it’s people.\n\n“DRAWDOWN is the work of 
 …geologists, engineers, agronomists, researchers, fellows, writers, 
 climatologists, biologists, botanists, economists, financial analysts, 
 architects, companies, agencies, NGOs, activists…who draft, model, fact 
 check, review, and validate…calculations…to provide…tools 
 to…students, teachers, researchers, philanthropists, investors, 
 entrepreneurs, business people, farmers, policymakers, engaged citizens and 
 more.” – DRAWDOWN site\n\nThe DRAWDOWN Introduction is facilitated by 
 Pachamama spokesperson, Nelson Barry. Pachamama Alliance, 30 years old, 
 protects a large swath of Equador’s Amazon rainforest with support from 
 eight indigenous forest-dwelling tribes.\n\nThe DRAWDOWN movement, together 
 with Sunrise Movement/The Green New Deal,  Cities Declaring Climate 
 Emergency, local and international, The Rights of Nature Initiatives, 
 Extinction Rebellion and other emerging groups, aims to bring people of all 
 ages into the work of reinventing our culture away from unsustainable 
 consumerism and disastrous continuation of burning of fossil fuels – to 
 adapt to coming climate crises.  \n\nWhile many estimate it will take a 
 mass mobilization similar to that of the New Deal in the face of war, some 
 elements as simple as educating girls together with family planning have 
 huge positive impact.\n\nThe DRAWDOWN book, available at bookstores and 
 many online sellers, is a work in progress.  The Introduction will be 
 followed by a set of 5 additional workshops linking activists in our region 
 and supporting their work.\n\nFor further information, see Sonoma County 
 Pachamama Alliance on Facebook and read the book.\n\n\n\n\n\n
