Neumann College to Participate in National Teach-In on Climate Change

 

Neumann College is one of more than 1,600 colleges and universities that are participating in a nationwide teach-in on climate change and global warming solutions from January 28 to February 1. The national program, called Focus the Nation, is a project of The Green House Network, a non-profit organization.

 

According to Focus the Nation literature, “Students today face many important social, economic, and security issues. Global warming, however, is unique, in that if we are to reduce the risk of large-scale, irreversible, world-wide damages, then ambitious, and potentially costly, policy solutions must be undertaken within a very compressed time frame. We owe our young people a day of national, focused, non-partisan discussion of the decisions to be made in the next ten years, decisions that will profoundly affect their future, and indeed the future of all human generations to follow.”
