at the

Brook Drive and North Main Street )
featuring a presentation by
[
Department of Environmental Protection, State of Connecticut ]
An important issue in today’s society is
the pollution resulting from Technology and Industry, and its effects on the
local and global Environment, which can adversely impact the welfare of present and future
generations. Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, Depletion of the Ozone layer, and Global Warming are among the best
known effects. What can we do to
control and ameliorate such effects ?
What is being done in the USA, and in particular in Connecticut ?
Connecticut participates in the regionwide Climate Change Action plan, together with other
New England states and Eastern Canada.
In Connecticut, several state
agencies, including the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), are
working together on the Climate Change Action plan.
In this seminar, Lynn Stoddard
from the DEP, who has been very active in this process, will discuss what is being done in the State
of Connecticut.
What is the nature and the magnitude of
the problem in Connecticut ? What do we
need to do ? What can be done at the
State level ? What are the specific Climate-related
initiatives currently underway ? These
are among the questions that will be discussed in this seminar.
Lynn Stoddard’s talk will
be preceded by a short tutorial on the science underlying Climate Change and
the relevant problems.
There will be a discussion period; you are invited to bring your questions and
ideas.
