Our friends/colleagues at CLEAN have organized a series of short (1/2 hour) FREE webinars to engage educators in and enhance our ability to educate about climate change.  The series (described below) starts Nov 9, so time to register and participate is short!

Please distribute the following information to your colleagues and networks as soon as possible!

Regarding the upcoming CLEAN Webinar Series, a MailChimp e-newsletter was sent out this week: http://mailchi.mp/641d8793d787/webinars-994589

Also, the webinar information is posted on the CIRES Education Outreach website (with a CLEAN webinar webpage in the works): http://cires.colorado.edu/outreach/clean

The format for each 30-min. webinar includes a short 15-min. presentation followed 15-min. for Q&A.. The organizers are working with  flexibility in mind so that the webinar structure can be responsibe to participants' particular interests, etc. during each presentation.

Take your teaching about climate and energy to the next level.
