Stories. We’ve heard them since we were children and storytelling is the most common way to share information around the world. The global climate crisis can be overwhelming to understand with graphs and charts. And fear-based tactics aren’t the catalysts we need for individual and community change. We need stories. For nearly a decade, mountain athlete Bethany Adams has been collecting climate stories from around the world. From the Adirondacks of New York to the slopes of Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, her work began in the classrooms of Paul Smith’s College and has left a lasting impact on those around her. Join us virtually on Zoom to hear the stories.
