What’s the difference between weather and climate? And if the planet is warming, why is it so cold?  Get the answers to these and many more questions during “Reflections on a Changing Climate,” a free event on March 3, hosted by Brodhead Watershed Association in Monroe County.

Starting at 1 p.m. at Brodhead Creek Heritage Center, 1539 Cherry Lane Road, Analomink, BWA member Mark Lichty will facilitate the conversation. Lichty is an executive producer of the documentary “Groundswell Rising.”

Participants will discuss the science of climate change; its impacts on weather patterns, the environment,  economy, and human health; and actions citizens can take to lessen their carbon footprint.

This is “a talk on how climate change affects us, and how we can affect climate change,” Lichty said. “Climate change is something you can impact. Come and connect with your true power.”

The event is free, but registration is required and limited. To register, send an email to: info@brodheadwatershed.org or call 570-839-1120.
