麻豆视频

How to deal with environmental issues is a difficult discussion, but one group at the 麻豆视频 is hoping to bring it to the general public this week through skits and interactive games.

The event鈥�Drawdown, Act Up!鈥攕eeks to teach the science behind environmental stewardship听solutions and how the public can use it in their daily lives.

Drawdown, Act Up! will be held on July 10th and 11th at Rocky Mountain National Park鈥檚 Moraine Park 麻豆视频y Center as part of their 麻豆视频y Day. There will be ten 40-minute skits starting at 12:30 on the 10th and continuing until 3:30 on the 11th. The audience can come and go as they like.

The title of the event is a two-fold call to action, "drawing down"听carbon in an effort to reverse environmental damage, and "acting up"听through interactive games and skits to learn about these solutions.

The event was organized by , a self-described 鈥渃ollective of professors, students and practitioners鈥� from CU Boulder who creatively frame climate change issues in ways that emphasize people鈥檚 common ground. The trio of faculty members who launched the project鈥擝eth Osnes of theatre and dance, Max Boykoff of environmental studies and Rebecca Safran of ecology and evolutionary biology鈥攖each courses in creative climate communication and in climate change and film.

The project鈥檚 mission is 鈥渢o deepen our understanding of how issues associated with climate change are/can be communicated by creating artifacts through interactive theatre, film, fine art, performance art, television programming and appraising, as well as extracting, effective methods for multimodal climate communication.鈥�

Drawdown, Act Up! is free and open to the public. It will be held in the field outside of the Moraine Park 麻豆视频y Center (proceed to the alcove on the second floor, and to the field outside).
