Expo ’74: 50 Years of Environmental Awareness In-Person
Expo’74 was the first World’s Fair to focus on environmental issues. In 1974, the greenhouse effect, industrial pollution of water, soil and air, nuclear waste, deforestation, and loss of wild habitats were of great concern globally. Fifty years later, with only minor action to solve these problems, the planet is experiencing the effects—wildfires, floods, the rise of sea level, hurricanes and tornados, species extinction, social tensions, and dislocation.
You’re invited to our community conversations during the 50th anniversary of Expo ’74 to talk about how individuals, neighborhoods, and municipalities can take action to prepare for the impacts of the climate crisis. Share your concerns, ask questions, and exchange ideas with others.
Presented in partnership with the League of Women Voters Spokane Area
