MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Free Public Library will host a third discussion of “Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation” by Paul Hawken at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5.

The discussion group will meet at the library, 7 Barstow St., and via Zoom to discuss the sections on People and Energy. Participants will also contribute to the creation of a list of actions for Mattapoisett citizens to take in living a more sustainable lifestyle.

Climate change is an important and timely issue across the globe, and communities everywhere are mobilizing citizen action groups and local committees to respond to the crisis.

Coastal communities, such as Mattapoisett, are at increased risk for erosion and tidal flooding due to the effects of climate change.

Join the library for a discussion of Paul Hawken’s latest call to action, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, and get the conversation started about how our community can get to “net zero.”
