The Climate Emergency: Students, life, and where we are at

with Gary White

moderated by SCU Associated Student Government Co-Presidents Abigail Alvarez & Angel Lin

With seas rising, global heat records falling, and storms becoming more and more devastating, the reality of climate change has never been clearer. But with clean energy solutions like wind and solar getting more affordable, batteries getting better, and buildings becoming more efficient every year, the way forward is also clear.

The Climate Reality Project, founded by former Vice-President Al Gore, is working to accelerate the global shift from the dirty fossil fuels driving climate change to renewables so we can power our lives and economies without destroying our planet.

GARY H. WHITE became a trained Climate Reality Leader in the summer of 2015 in Toronto. He has given 275 presentations to over 19,000 people to date and serves as the Co-chair of Presentations with the Climate Reality SF Bay Area chapter. Additionally, Gary founded Extinction Rebellion San Mateo, A climate activist group that employs non-violent direct action on the Peninsula. He is also a leader of Citizens Climate Lobby. 

Currently retired, Gary spent nearly 30 years as a human resources executive in Silicon Valley with Apple, Intuit, and Palm. In addition to HR, he oversaw corporate social responsibility at his workplaces for over 15 years. He holds a BA in sociology from Stony Brook University, a MSW from UC Berkeley, and an executive education certificate in CSR from the Harvard Business School. Gary lives in Belmont, California with his wife of 21 years and is an active member of the Rotary Club of San Mateo. He swims and reads when he is not advocating for solutions to the climate crisis. 

ABBY ALVAREZ SCU'22 is a political science and spanish double major and is extremely committed to social justice. In high school, she founded an integrated after school program for kids with disabilities, and worked as an inclusion assistant for Portland Parks and Recreation. She has served as the president of the board of directors of a youth empowerment organization and  a SCCAP program coordinator in the Health and Disabilities Department. Abigail is also active in Advocacy for Workers on Campus (AWC) was an elected class senator in SCU's Associated Student Government (ASG) last year before moving into the co-presidency with Angel Lin for the 21-22 year.

THE GOOD MARKET (of climate action ideas) is LIVE at SCU for SCU Students, Staff & Faculty

Opens at 11:45 AM......closes at 2:00 PM 

Featuring 9 student-led clubs, programs, themes, as well as inspiring alumni and guests talking about serious sustainability, generous justice, ship shape shopping and ad-vo-ca-cy.

Santa Clara Sunrise: The youth movement that is on the frontline of political climate change advocacy   

• Petra Glenn & Therese Maligranda | SCU Sunrise

Fossil Fuel Divestment & Environmental Justice In this student-led session, learn about how student leadership, student leverage, and student voices are shaping divestment efforts in institutions that are not prone to enact these measures without public pressure. 

• Emily Pachoud | SCU ENACT

Power, Policy & Protest: The history of movements

• Amanda Harvey 

FFAC Factory Farm Awareness Coalition

• Eemon Ghasemiyeh

Climate Action Now APP - how to get notices of key moves to make everyday

• Chanel Bulllock, 

Shopping and Doing the Right Thing

• Drew Descourouez & Alexa DeSanctis | Zarella

On average, an infant born in the US will generate more carbon emissions in its first year of life than a person living in Tanzania will generate in a lifetime. How can we work for justice while living within socio-economic systems of injustice? Alexa and Drew created a company called Zarella, an online marketplace and impact tracking tool that makes it easy to opt-out of harmful consumption and harness collecting buying power for a better future.

The Impact Educating Girls has on the Climate Emergency   

• Amber Persson, Beta Class Member of Delta Epsilon Mu

Though often overlooked, the strategy of mobilizing educational efforts targeting girls and women is more effective than many green technologies. It is another example of how intersectional the climate emergency is.

RSVP for THE GOOD MARKET for ANY PART of it! This RSVP is to give us an idea of who will be coming to the in-person Good Market. We may also have people broadcasting on zoom from the good market.

Making Sense of your Science-denying Cranky Uncle

Cartoonist, game designer, and scientist John Cook will talk on how to make sense of our science-denying Cranky Uncle and neutralize polarizing misinformation about climate change. He’ll walk through his critical thinking Cranky Uncle game that builds public resilience against misinformation.

JOHN COOK is a postdoctoral research fellow with the Climate Change Communication Research Hub at Monash University. His research focus is on using critical thinking to build resilience against misinformation. In 2007, he founded Skeptical Science, a website that won the 2011 Australia Museum Eureka Prize for the Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge. In 2020, he published the book Cranky Uncle vs. Climate Change applying critical thinking, inoculation research, and cartoons to engage and educate readers about climate misinformation. He recently released the Cranky Uncle game, combining critical thinking, cartoons, and gamification to build players’ resilience against misinformation. He currently works with organizations like Facebook and NASA to develop evidence-based responses to climate misinformation.Featuring APP creator John Cook from Monash University, Melbourne Australia.
