On Tuesday May 14 at 4pm EST, Yale BlueGreen is hosting a conversation with Mary Evelyn Tucker and Leigh Raymond. They'll be talking about some of the ways we can frame the argument for making the transition to sustainable policies. This event is part of their “Case for Sustainability” series.
Yale BlueGreen is the alumni environmental organization at Yale.
