Garden Club meeting covers climate action
Dr. Elaine Salinger is scheduled to deliver the presentation “Climate Action from a Longtime Gardener” at the Garden Club of Los Altos meeting 1-3 p.m. Tuesday via Zoom.
Salinger, a retired veterinarian, has hosted many native plant garden tours over the past 15 years. Lately, she has been mentoring high school students and giving talks on climate change action. As the problem becomes more urgent, Salinger said she is conducting more outreach and volunteers more than 40 hours per week.
Salinger’s talk will address questions such as: What is the most effective solution to climate change? How can the U.S. enact the solution in a way that encourages the rest of the world to do the same?
