Events › Climate Conversation: Seeds of Hope

Please join us for a discussion about the book Seeds of Hope and more broadly, climate change and Chicago's water resources. 

The book takes us on a journey, "from Goodall’s home in England to her home-away-from-home in Africa, deep inside the Gombe forest, where she and the chimpanzees are enchanted by the fig and plum trees they encounter. She introduces us to botanists around the world, as well as places where hope for plants can be found, such as The Millennium Seed Bank. She shows us the secret world of plants with all their mysteries and potential for healing our bodies as well as Planet Earth.

Looking at the world as an adventurer, scientist, and devotee of sustainable foods and gardening—and setting forth simple goals we can all take to protect the plants around us—Goodall delivers an enlightening story of the wonders we can find in our own backyards."

Our discussion will be led by Ayesha Qazi-Lampert, an environmental science teacher at Chicago Public Schools.

Current reading selections are available for check-out at the Humboldt Park Branch circulation desk.

This event is for ages 13+.
