Green Visions: individual action leads to collective action

"Limiting global warming to 1.5ºC would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society,"  according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in a new assessment that came out, ironically, four days before yet another October storm on Lake Superior decimated the Lakewalk in Duluth.

  With the seriousness of the climate change problem, the massive changes that would need to take place to stop it and the massive changes taking place as it progresses unchecked, the scope of the problem is daunting.
 
But Tom Beery, Minnesota Sea Grant's Resiliency Specialist, says a workshop coming up next week will do a couple of things that will make, eventually, substantive change.
 
More information on the workshop is available here.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
