The Heat Is On May 29, 2007

Did you know Pennsylvania releases almost as much greenhouse gas as the entire continent of Australia?

The Philadelphia Foundation has invited an expert panel, introduced by PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Michael DiBerardinis to discuss Pennsylvania’s contribution to climate change, what rising temperatures mean for the state, and how the state may implement public policy that will make it a leader in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The Heat Is On will also feature Brian Hill, President and CEO, PA Environmental Council, John Hanger, President and CEO, PennFuture, Nathan Wilcox, Clean Air and Energy Advocate, PennEnvironment and Joseph Minott, Executive Director, Clean Air Council.

COST: No cost and lunch will be served
