Starting in March 2021 and going through the end of the calendar year, our front door will feature a different mini-quilt each month relating to the sectors of Project Drawdown's climate solutions. Project Drawdown is a nonprofit organization that has a mission to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.
Our front door will highlight a different Drawdown sector that corresponds to the monthly lecture topic as part of the Delaware County Institute of Science Drawdown DCIS lecture series and action plans in the Drawdown EcoChallenge.
