X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Starting from a common base to have real d
 iscussions about the environment\, this book discussion club is a great wa
 y to deepen ideas\, have respectful debates while listening to the points 
 of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this importa
 nt topic. Together\, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine n
 ew sustainable and desirable horizons.</p>\n<p>This month's selection is <
 em>Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race</
 em>\, by Peter Fiekowsky and Carole Douglis. The Paris Accords\, widely ac
 cepted as the key to solving today&rsquo\;s climate crisis\, set a goal of
  zero net carbon emissions by 2050. But that&rsquo\;s not good enough. The
  only way to guarantee a livable future is&nbsp\;climate restoration\,&nbs
 p\;which can reduce greenhouse gases to historic levels. Scientist and ent
 repreneur Peter Fiekowsky explains the technology and maps a practical pat
 h that will let humankind survive and thrive.</p>\n<p>Author Carole Dougli
 s will be with us in person to discuss the book and her work.</p>\n<p>This
