    Hello Teammates: Two timely not to miss virtual events!
    1. April 22nd, 23rd, 24th  SouthCoast FilmForum will stream the film 2040 free of charge: "Practical solutions to environmental concerns are addressed with the hope that the filmmaker's daughter, 21 years old in the year 2040, will face a hopeful future." Fun and optimistic! Sign up at socofilms.org for streaming link. I watched the film yesterday with my family and many of the concepts are from Drawdown. In fact, Paul Hawkins is interviewed!
