Future Focus with Jess Cooper: Creativity and Clim

Future Focus with Jess Cooper: Creativity and Climate Action, Tuesday 3/2 at 4:30 pm - FREE TALK (link in bio)⠀
⠀
Jess Cooper believes the power of creative thinking goes beyond just finding creative solutions to tackle big issues like climate change. She writes, “Creativity is necessary for absolutely everything we do, and propels the success of a movement by opening up a broader platform to broadcast our ideas to. It helps us see things that we might not otherwise be able to see in a movement, it allows us to express our emotions and thoughts in a way that is accessible for everyone to interpret. Creativity is one component of climate action we can’t overlook.”

Fun fact for Friday: In the fall, loons migrate to

Fun fact for Friday: In the fall, loons migrate to the ocean where they will spend the winter. Once loons get to the ocean, they generally stay within sight of shore. They are very social in winter, and will feed together on large schools of fish. They don’t often call or vocalize. They spend a lot of time preening their feathers, oiling them to make them waterproof, which keeps them warm in the frigid ocean water. Martha Agan shared this lovely photo of a Common Loon in the ocean at Kettle Cove State Park in Cape Elizabeth.
