Together We Will Louisville and Southern Indiana’s (TWW-LSI) August focus is the environment and what each of us can do to solve the looming climate crisis.
Some of the main culprits contributing to today's environmental crisis are roughly identified as:
On a national level
- The U.S. is responsible for 25% of the world's atmospheric carbon pollution
- U.S. policies continue to be fossil fuel focused, and indebted to the fossil fuels industries
- The current Republican Administration in DC continues to deny climate change and is actively repealing legislation implemented to protect the environment and Earth's inhabitants
On a local level
- Louisvillians contribute much more to the climate crisis than the average American
- Louisville has many days each year when the air quality is so poor that people with respiratory problems are advised to stay indoors
- Some areas within Metro Louisville have such extreme pollution that residential cancer rates are twice as high as other areas of the Metro
Sarah Lynn is a licensed environmental engineer and educator currently devoting her energies and passions to the Louisville Climate Action Network (LCAN). LCAN's mission is to encourage and assist our local community in making day-to-day changes that reduce their impact on both the Metro area and the national and global environment.
While there are countless changes that can be made, ranging from light bulbs to public policy changes, how each of us can contribute to the solution can seem confusing and out of reach for the average citizen. Sarah Lynn promises to simplify the process and guide us through the many simple ways we can each reduce our carbon footprint (pollution) and simultaneously save money.
Sarah Lynn will make the discussion interactive and fun while leaving us feeling hopeful that we can make changes and contribute to positive solutions.
Please join us on Saturday, August 12th, from 2-4pm, at St. Matthews-Eline Library for this very informative and practical session on how you can personally contribute to a solution!

Additionally, LCAN offers free presentations for your groups. Each LCAN presentation is tailored to your learning objectives. Teachers, we help you to show students why what you're teaching matters to them. Because multi-disciplinary teaching can reach more students, we will incorporate climate-change science, impacts and solutions into any subject area, as needed.
