On Thursday, February 18 at 11:00 am in the Meeting Room of the Mattapoisett Public Library, 7 Barstow Street, the public is invited to join Mary Jane Sorrentino for a presentation on “The Climate Crisis” followed by an opportunity for questions. Discover the truth about the climate crisis and the meaningful steps we can take to bring about change. Ms. Sorrentino, trained by the Gore Climate Change Project, will be speaking about the causes of this global disaster, how it is affecting New England and particularly our coastal areas, and what responses our communities can embrace.
