Video of July Community Gathering
Statewide Community Gatherings Series:
Community Gatherings serve as a place for our members (and our wider network) to connect with each other, learn about the state of the environment here in Pennsylvania, receive updates on our work, and meet in regional cohorts. Join us from 7PM-8:30PM. We will have an hour of programming followed by 30 minutes for regional breakouts moderated by PA IPL team members.
An Intergenerational Approach to the Climate Crisis:
In July’s regional gathering we discussed the unique challenges of various generations facing the climate crisis, and imagined an intergenerational approach to the climate crisis. Lydia Wylie-Kellermann grounded us in a conversation about the gifts of intergenerational work amidst the climate crisis. In her new book This Sweet Earth: Walking with Our Children in the Age of Climate Collapse, she dares to argue that while the future remains unknown, there is still awe and wonder, love and struggle, gratitude and overwhelming joy to be found. This will be a time for honoring our elders and our children and sharing stories about the ways we stumble upon hope when we do this work together across generations.
