The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues on Thursday, January 16, at 6:30 PM with a presentation from Andrew Breton about his incredible adventure across the hemispheres by bicycle.
Andre Breton’s ambitious journey began on September 11, 2023, in Cartwright, Labrador, Canada, and ended 284 days later in Ushuaia, Argentina. The primary goals of Climate Zero were twofold: to plant enough trees to zero out his 52-year carbon footprint and to ride a bicycle from 54° north to 54° south, a complete transect of the Americas.
This program will be held in person in the Picker Room.
Climate Zero was an opportunity for Andre to challenge himself and to raise awareness about the devastating implications of climate change. His journey demonstrated that everyone can make a positive difference in the global effort to reverse climate change. Andre will share some of his experiences and insights from living on a bike for most of a year, and hopes his story will inspire others to take action to address climate change.
Mid-Coast Audubon is a chapter of Audubon, and affiliated with Maine Audubon. We cover the midcoast inland from Boothbay Harbor, west to Windsor and China, and east along the coast to Bucksport. Our mission is to promote long-term, responsible use of natural resources through informed membership, education and community awareness.
Throughout the year fascinating and informative programs are presented (free!) via the Camden Public Library, and there are numerous field trips to see birds and learn about the natural history of Maine. Come be part of the fun and learning. Check out our events page for dates/times. You can also watch the recorded presentations from earlier programs.
