Welcome To Environmental Fridays
...it is personal

Environmental Fridays is a free online guest lecture series for high school and early college students. But everyone else is encouraged and welcomed to attend since the environment is not simply around us but is personal to us all, to our health and survival. So, it is important that we mentor our next generation about environmental challenges and concerns. Their future, our future may be dependent on it.
