We will also be joined by Alisa Singer, artist and creator of the series Environmental Graphiti - The Art of Climate Change, who will discuss how her work creating abstract images illustrating the science behind the critical changes impacting our planet can be used to teach the science of climate change.

- Mike Hoffmann, Professor Emeritus at Cornell University, will describe how he uses the foods we love and need to raise awareness about climate change for people of all ages.

In these webinars, we will also discuss how working with this approach can support the Worldwide Teach-in on Climate and Justice, set for March 29, 2023. This will also help you to #Teach10Hours4Climate: our K-12 initiative in collaboration with the National Wildlife Federation.
