UPCOMING SPEAKER

 

Dan Crawford

February 11

Join us Wednesday for our weekly meeting in Charter Hall on the third floor of the City Market Building; networking and lunch begin at 12:00PM. We will listen to Dan Crawford, President of the Roanoke Group of the Sierra Club. The Roanoke Group of the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter represents over 800 members across 10 counties (Bath, Alleghany, Amherst, Bedford, Rockbridge, Botetort, Roanoke, Franklin, Patrick and Henry).

Though there are many environmental issues, Dan will discuss their primary focus on rapid climate change. He will advocate for the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases by transitioning to renewable energy, with wind being the biggest producer and solar making encouraging gains.

Dan spent his teens in Roanoke prior to joining the Navy and then living in the Pacific Northwest where he worked on the water, fishing, boat building, rigging, etc. He became active in environmental issues about 18 years ago, and continues this work on behalf of our environment.
