> Hi Colleagues:
>
> Recently I led The Wedges Game, developed a couple years ago by the
> Carbon Mitigation Institute at Princeton, for our staff at Sci-Port. I
> thought the game was a nice pre-packaged experience that was easy to
> lead and could be translatable into a three-part lunch-&-learn for
> adults at the center. But I had some concerns about it. In the game,
> players become policy-makers and they are encouraged to choose 7 carbon
> mitigation strategies to fill the "stabilization triangle" to keep
> emissions level. Some of the options, like Hydrogen Cars, seemed a
> little dated. And I also wondered if the game was not misleading people
> into thinking that we have the liberty to pick and choose which
> strategies we want to employ. (When I think the reality is closer to us
> needing to employ every strategy we have at full-scale ASAP.)
>
> So my question is: do any of you know of a pre-packaged, hands-on set of
> activities or curriculum for adults that gives good science about this
> issue?
>
> We would like to do a three-part series, each session an hour long,
> including a community speaker who will talk for 10-15 minutes at each
> session, and a boxed lunch. Anyone done anything like that?
