Climate forum to examine carbon offsets

A special free presentation from BI Climate & Energy Forums will be held from 10 to noon on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church to discuss the pros and cons of carbon offsets.

Two speakers — Derik Broekhoff of the Stockholm Environmental Institute and Michael Gillenwater of the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute — will discuss using carbon offsets and other programs to “offset” carbon emissions.

An open discussion will follow the presentation.

BI Climate & Energy Forums are free monthly events. Sponsors include Climate Action Bainbridge, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, EcoAdapt, and Sustainable Bainbridge.

Eagle Harbor Congregational Church is located at 105 Winslow Way West.
