Doomsday Clock

“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.”

- Jacques Cousteau

Mission Statement:

  • To develop a repertoire of best practices with highest impact within our individual control to combating climate change.
  • To share best practices with other Rotary clubs and community organizations as invited.
  • To encourage individuals to assume responsibility and personally act in ways that will bring the quickest ROI to reducing CO2 emissions, such as switching to solar, electrifying sources, and reduction of burning wood.

These proposals are in line with Rotary International’s grassroots efforts to explore ways and means to make our environment more sustainable.

For more information, please email Committee Chair Mark McKenna.
