Author and filmmaker, Steve Hamm, returns to the Woodbridge Town Library to discuss the different forms climate change action can take in local communities. Steve will discuss his new book, The Pivot: Addressing Global Problems Through Local Action, which focuses on a collaborative effort created in the midst of COVID-19 to help communities become more sustainable and resilient.

Steve will also be showing his documentary, A River Speaks, about Connecticut’s Mill River. Together, the book and video are a call to action: for society, to pivot to becoming more sustainable and, for individuals, to become climate activists.
