We are pleased to share a recap of the Esri User Conference Science Symposium, featuring the amazing climate scientist, Dr. Camilo Mora of the University of Hawaii. Unfortunately, we did not have the resources to record the session and Dr. Mora is unable to release his full slide deck due to the sensitivity of some material. But please find this Wakelet social media compilation --> 2018 Esri Science Symposium - Wakelet . And you can download the introductory slide deck of Esri Chief Scientist Dawn Wright‌ at http://esriurl.com/symposium18 .

For those of you who are interested in offsetting your carbon footprint, but don't have the real estate in your backyards to plant hundreds of trees, there's a solution! There are environmental organizations across the country (and probably the world) whose work focuses on habitat restoration. Many of these organizations are awarded grants that require some sort of match contribution as part of their project. Here's where you come in. These organizations need money for trees and volunteers to plant them! Find your local soil and water conservation districts, land trusts, and wildlife groups (or many others) to see how you can contribute. You're not only helping a great community organization, you're helping offset your carbon footprint! Good luck!

Wonderful post @Alice_Rubin_wa_rco 

Another interesting and useful resource is Climate Stewards especially for people who log lots of miles in the air!
