  Come by to learn more about Our Task and register for the Earth 2100 Conference! The 3rd annual Earth 2100 Conference is on July 26-27, 2014 at George Mason University. It brings together a community of concerned citizens, providing them an opportunity to not only come together and discuss their hopes and fears for the future, but to go beyond mere discussion to create action plans for effecting change. The conferences inspire people by giving them a place to share successes and lessons learned. The Earth 2100 Conference builds community by: (1) Teaching participants about what is happening to Earth; (2) Discussing prospects under alternative plans; and (3) Developing action plans that young adults will implement after the conference.

Stop by our table and sign the pledge: “I choose to drink tap water instead of purchasing single-use plastic water bottles.”
