Approaching the Climate Crisis with Radical Curiosity
With the earth in crisis, it's easy to feel overwhelmed about our ability to make a difference. Yet the antidote for hopelessness is action. In honor of Earth Day, Debbie Raphael, Director of the
San Francisco Department of the Environment, will share her thoughts on the importance of asking the right questions to help us identify the actions each of us can take that will maximize impact and heal the planet.
