Working Together for the Great River and the Great Lakes

Talking Wings, the artist and activist couple Blake Lavia & Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo, will kick off the Sustainability Day & Green Living Festival with an online educational event on Friday evening, 6:30 pm, October 27, with a virtual keynote panel presentation as part of their LISTENING TO WATER SYMPOSIUM series. Their panel will explore - Waters Have No Borders: Working Together for the Great River and the Great Lakes. 

Dr. Curt Stager will be the primary keynote speaker. Stager, an esteemed Paul Smith’s College Professor of Natural Sciences, is an author, radio co-host, and a science journalist focusing on ecology, paleoclimatology. His diverse background and communication skills have enabled him to contribute immensely to the long-term sustainability of the Adirondacks. He will speak about how climate change is affecting plants, animals, and people in the Adirondacks and what to expect in the future. "Over the past several years, people have responded with optimism that the transformation we need in our built and social structures can happen, and should include our local region," stated Professor Susan Powers, Director of the Institute for a Sustainable Environment at Clarkson University. Powers continued: "This annual effort has built stronger ties across the four County campuses and with our larger communities, including the Potsdam Climate Smart Communities Task Force, the Canton Sustainability Committee, the Local Living Venture, and Cornell Cooperative Extension of St. Lawrence County. These partnerships have grown and strengthened since we began in 2016, and we foresee an excellent series of events in 2023!"
