What is global warming and what can we do about it?

After screening a funny 2-minute video from Blue Man Group on global warming, Cambria Gordon will use audience volunteers to demonstrate the science of global warming.  Using humor and analogies, she will discuss this complicated issue in down to earth language, conveying a message of hope, and not fear.  After the kids have a thorough understanding, she will speak about reducing our own "carbon footprint," taking suggestions and offering some of her own to help kids save energy at school and at home.  She will also read excerpts from the book and if desired, can teach schools how to start their own green teams.
