On Saturday, April 19, the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) will host its annual community Earth Day celebration. This year's event will aim to raise public awareness on the issues of climate change and its potential local and global impacts. The event will entail a 3-mile hike along a projected Monterey coastline in the event of a 2 meter rise in sea level. The hike will be led by climate change experts including local professors and scientists from the field that will provide insight on climate change as well as possible solutions. The event will conclude with a free community picnic at Windows on the Bay. Supervised chalk art activities for children, families encouraged.
