It&#8217;s coming back on the table this year. Learn how it happens and how you can make it happen faster.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Fiekowsky, author of Climate Restoration: The Only Future That Will Sustain the Human Race (2022), is an MIT-educated physicist and Silicon Valley entrepreneur and philanthropist with 27 patents. He has 30 years\u2019 experience as a citizen lobbyist for poverty and climate issues, and recently has been working to build the organizations required to ensure the survival and flourishing of humanity. His mission is to leave a world we\u2019re proud of to our children. To that end, he founded the Foundation for Climate Restoration, Methane Action, Stable Planet Alliance, the Climate Restoration Safety &amp; Governance Board, and the Humanity Day organization.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/884209693?h=2160d8525e\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/884209693\">11\/12\/23 Peter Fiekowsky<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/hcsv\">Humanist Community-SiliconValley<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>You can attend our forums in person with fellow humanists at the Mountain View Senior Center at 266 Escuela Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040.
