Talk Examines Reducing Carbon Footprint

Kathi King, director of outreach and education for the Santa Barbara Environmental Council, explains how energy, transportation and food systems affect climate change in a lecture, “How to Reduce your Carbon Footprint TODAY,” Friday, Oct. 14, at 3:30 p.m. in Founders Room below Westmont’s Kerr Student Center. The talk, part of the Sustainability Speaker Series, is free and open to the public.

“I am looking forward to having Kathi share her knowledge with the Westmont community about how we can all work together to reduce our environmental footprint and to be more mindful stewards of the Earth,” says organizer Michelle Aronson, sustainability/marketing coordinator for Westmont dining services by Sodexo. “Anyone who is curious about finding meaningful ways to be more sustainable in their daily life will find this talk incredibly valuable and inspiring.”

King is involved in numerous public environmental efforts in the Tri-County area, including the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival, CEC’s Green Gala, and the Rethink the Drink bottle reduction program in area schools.

The CEC is a solutions-based organization working on our region’s most pressing environmental issues since 1970.
