DESCRIPTION:Join GCPL and author and climate change expert\, Andreas Karel
 as\, to discuss his solutions to climate change and his new book\, "Climat
 e Courage". .\nhttps://gwinnettpl.libnet.info/event/5275578
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p style="text-align: left\;"><strong>America
 ns care about climate change now more than ever - but to unite in pursuit 
 of solutions\, we need a new narrative based on a positive vision of the f
 uture.&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: left\;">Andreas Karelas 
 brings an optimistic message we don&rsquo\;t often hear: we have all the t
 ools we need to solve climate change&mdash\;and doing so will improve our 
 lives\, our economy\, and our society in countless ways. <em>Climate Coura
 ge</em> shows us how we can move past our collective inaction on climate c
 hange and work together in our communities to create a more sustainable\, 
 just\, clean energy&ndash\;powered economy that works for everyone.</p>\n<
 p style="text-align: left\;"><br />To engage people in the climate fight r
 equires that we tell new stories that are empowering\, inclusive\, and sol
 utions-oriented\, not based in fear. By emphasizing the rate of job creati
 on in clean energy and the inspiring efforts of climate heroes on both sid
 es of the aisle&mdash\;mayors and governors\, the military\, faith communi
 ties\, businesses\, and community groups&mdash\;Karelas shows us that clim
 ate solutions need not be polarizing and that citizens can drive the shift
  to clean energy.</p>\n<p style="text-align: left\;"><em><strong>Andreas K
