THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING is in Sudbury this Friday, and you’ll want to be there

For Immediate Release

Sudbury, November 24, 2015 -  Has blue green algae arrived in your lake or river?  Has your basement flooded with bigger and more frequent rain storms?  Do you worry about the arrival of lyme disease?  Do you miss a longer season for skiing, snowmobiling, or ice fishing?  Climate change impacts all of us. 

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING presents the powerful idea that in addressing the crisis of climate change we can transform our failed economic system into something radically better.

Join us for this powerful message of hope, change and positive action:

  •                 Fraser Auditorium, Laurentian University

  •                 Suggested donation $10.00.  All welcome.
