Larimer Alliance joins Climate Reality for the 2024 Northern Colorado Climate Meetup!
The 2024 NOCO Climate Meetup is coming up on September 22 - we are holding it in Loveland's Centennial Park from 12 noon to 5 PM.
We have speakers, networking events, food, and drinks - plus the chance to spend the afternoon with your fellow Colorado climate activists ... we are expecting upwards of 100 people. Please try to respond to the invitation as soon as possible, so the organizers can make sure adequate beverages are on hand. Although some compostable plates, tableware, and cups will be provided, you are encouraged to bring your own reusable plates and utensils to go with your shared dish. And they are trying to keep this green by establishing carpooling to and from the event. See below. . .
