Cambridge Forum is pleased to welcome Heather Rogers, author of Green Gone Wrong, to kick off Climate Change Week in Cambridge: eight days of events about facing and reducing the escalating threats of a changing climate. Solutions for climate change aren't known, but science tells us that our consumption, what we eat, and the products and services we buy, contribute to the problem. What can be done about the products that contribute most? Heather Rogers has investigated whether earth-friendly products are a solution. Tim Weiskel moderates the discussion.

Co-sponsored by Cambridge Climate Emergency Action Group and the First Parish Climate Justice Task Force.
