Description: In the fight to end climate change, hydrogen is considered an important clean, renewable replacement for fossil fuels, especially those used for heavy industry, planes, ships, etc. However, splitting hydrogen from other elements is costly. Natural hydrogen, hydrogen not bonded with other elements, might revolutionize this energy sector by making its use affordable, since no splitting is required. Recently huge reservoirs of natural hydrogen have been found around the world. Dr. Geoffry Ellis, a research geologist and the project chief of the Potential for Geologic Hydrogen Gas Resources project within the Energy Resources Program (ERP) of the U.S. Geological Survey, will discuss what we know & don’t know about the global resource potential for natural hydrogen, how we can apply existing resource exploration strategies, and what new knowledge and technologies are needed to improve our understanding of this previously overlooked potential energy resource and its potential to help stop climate change.

September Webinar: Our Ecological Emergency and the More-than-Human World

Description: Our Ecological Emergency and the More-than-Human World We are living in an ecological and social emergency that combines climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social inequalities. In the midst of this crisis, humans have been reflecting on how to respond and what policies can secure life on earth. But what happens when we listen to the more-than-human world? In this event, we will explore ideas and collaborations designed to protect human and more-than-human life on earth, where relationships among different actors are key to solving the puzzle. Speaker Bio: Carlos Andrés Baquero-Díaz is a practitioner, scholar, and curator. In his work, Carlos Andrés aims to build bridges among people that come from different cultural backgrounds and have different knowledge and skills in times of ecological emergencies. Carlos Andrés has worked with NGOs, social movement organizations, and research centers combining academic research, legal action, communication strategies, and the arts to develop projects that strive to secure climate justice.

October Event: A Conversation about the Climate Crisis

And coming in October, the 350 Chicago Education Committee will hold a unique event: A Conversation About the Climate Crisis. This Zoom Meeting will have no featured speaker. Instead, attendees will be invited to discuss various topics regarding climate change, to ask questions, voice opinions, debate, etc. We want to hear from you! Keep an eye out for more details on our website and social media.

Please email me if you have any questions, and, as always, we are looking for volunteers for the Education Committee to help create more events like these, as well as in person workshops, developing educational content for our website, including documents and videos and so much more. NO education background needed! Come join us!

Thanks for your time. Hope to see you at all of these events!
