Citizen Science - Climate Action (CS-CA) Team
RPCV4EA's newest group is the Citizen Science-Climate Action (CS-CA) team. Join us as we discuss refrigerant and methane leakage detection and action plans. The current action theme of this group is "Making the invisible, visible." This is for anyone who wants to find out what actions we can take to eliminate the release of these invisible powerful greenhouse gases.
Our next meeting is on Thursday, June 8 at 8 pm ET \ 5 pm PT
