EcoAction Cards Creativity Space
EcoAction Cards: All Hands on Deck! is an interactive, creative, solutionary game developed to stimulate optimism about climate change collaborations. Illustrated with original artwork gifted to the project by 12 artists, the deck contains myriad ideas, how-tos and resources across 12 categories.
It is designed to inspire step by step entry points to address individual and community engagements with impactful solutions. Together we can celebrate innovations already underway and use our brilliant imaginations to envision the resilient world we want to inhabit and co-create.
This workshop for all ages explores EcoAction Cards through a series of exercises and group interactions to build community hopefulness and activation.
Special guest NJ environmental lawyer and author Patrick Reilly will open the event with a reading.
Suggested donation is $5 to support our community space at the Climate Imaginarium, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
