Carpenter Hall, Sunset Center
Community Night with the Library
Your Personal Carbon Footprint
By Dr. C. Michael Hogan

How many tons (yes, tons!) of carbon are we personally responsible for emitting each year? Learn about Your Personal Carbon Footprint, with Dr. C. Michael Hogan, CEO of the California Arts and Sciences Institute and authority on U.S. energy policy, as he takes us on an interactive journey of the impact our lifestyle has on the overall environmental crisis. By measuring our behavioral choices including food consumption, transportation choices, gardening preferences, use of electronic devices, and financial decisions, we can all play a more proactive role in the carbon emissions cycle, and our overall ecological and biological health system.

Dr. Hogan is renowned for his peer reviewed work and research, which focuses on biological, physical, ecological and environmental expertise. Such research includes development and calibration of the first air quality line source model for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as well as working with groundwater mapping in Monterey County for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Dr. Hogan received a PhD in physics from Stanford University and BS from Princeton University.

Discovering Gaston

“I grew up in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. We never had a public library. My children are extremely lucky to have the Carmel Public Library. As a parent my heart soars with pride as I think of my 4 year old naming his pet, after a book he fell in love with during one of his library visits.”
—Gleidy Wetzel, Mother of three, Grateful Patron
