Paper or plastic? Does recycling really make a difference? Which foods have the lowest environmental impact? More Americans are asking these questions as they try to make lifestyle changes toward more environmentally-friendly lives. Unfortunately, many consumers are flooded with advice based on emotion, not science, and are left confused about which are really the most important decisions.

Join us as we learn which actions do the most for the planet while also helping us live healthier and more enjoyable lives. We’ll hear from three Pensacola residents who have made changes to live lighter on the earth, while also improving the quality of their lives. Our guests are Paige Plier, an environmental educator and advocate; Brian O’Sullivan, a Pensacola resident who has transformed his home into a model for a low carbon future; and Zac Lane, advocacy chairperson for Bike Pensacola. Christian Wagley, coastal organizer for Healthy Gulf, will present the findings of scientific research on consumer impacts, and moderate the discussion.

This presentation comes the week of Earth Day and is a joint project of 350 Pensacola, Healthy Gulf and Climate Together Pensacola. Please join us for an interactive presentation and discussion! For more information: christian@healthygulf.org
