Staffed booths at the 2005 and 2007 Rotary International conventions in Chicago and Salt Lake City wherein a Network was developed of over 600 Rotarians who were interested in starting similar projects, gathering information, or simply attaining speakers about climate change. We have maintained these connections and continue to communicate and support these clubs from around the world in their efforts.

Organized a televised speaking session at the San Diego City Attorney’s office with Dan Cayan and Ralph Keeling of Scripps Institution of Oceanography to help inform our city’s leaders about local impacts of climate change.
