Featuring our own Kathleen Sullivan, Climate Activist – Third Act – Maine Chapter
KATHLEEN SULLIVAN says she really “woke up” to climate activism two years ago when she joined Bill McKibben’s organization, Third Act and helped found the Maine chapter. She has subsequently formed Freeport Climate Action Now which now has 1,000 members. “It is about much more than my own grandchildren, it has to do with the deeper question of how we think of ourselves as human beings in relation to the earth. We have a moral responsibility to do the right thing.
Via GBH, Cambridge Forum continues its “Living on Borrowed Time” climate series with Dana R. Fisher, renowned climate researcher and self-proclaimed ‘apocalyptic optimist’ discussing her belief that we can no longer wait for governments to pass the laws we need, businesses to do the right thing, or technological silver bullets to maintain a livable planet. Each of us must take action to save ourselves and save the planet. She’ll be joined in the conversation by Pennie Opal Plant and Kathleen Sullivan, and polar explorer and scientist, Dr. Susana Hancock.
