The Seattle Climate Change Meetup is a collective of concerned and engaged Seattle citizens interested in accelerating proven solutions that can reverse global warming. We create and facilitate forums for people with all levels of experience to learn from each other and develop strategies and projects they are passionate about. Participants are introduced to the climate solutions outlined in Regeneration.org and Project Drawdown and guided through an exploratory process to develop their own personal plan for individual, family, and community action.
You find and can sign up for the latest workshops and get together events at our Meetup.com site here:
Scott has re-oriented his life and professional focus to address the social, environmental, and business challenges posed by the climate crisis. He believes we can tap into the unlimited potential of humans to address these huge challenges with a sense of possibility, creating a better world for every person and every life on our planet. Scott is the co-founder of Drawdown Seattle and the Seattle Climate Change Meetup. In these forums we focus on accelerating proven solutions to the climate crisis with a sense of purpose, urgency, and even fun.
I retired as a physician in 2010 and since have had time to learn about the climate challenges that we face. As a grandfather to three granddaughters, I am now acutely aware that we need to urgently cut our greenhouse gas emissions and to protect our ecosystems for future generations. One action that we can all take, is to learn more about the climate crisis and to talk with others about how they can be part of the solutions that we need.
I am a co-host of the Seattle Climate Change Meetup group and a co-founder of the Climate Advocates Hub of Seattle-King County. I'm also a member of the Climate and Health Task Force of Washington Physicians For Social Responsibility, a Master Gardener with King County Master Gardeners and a member of the Green Team at Keystone United Church of Christ.
"Our purpose as human beings in this moment is to create a livable future, together—to build a bridge from where we are today to the world we want for ourselves, for all of life, and for generations yet to come. With commitment, collaboration, and ingenuity, we can depart the perilous path we are on and come back into balance with the planet’s living systems. A better path is still possible. May we turn that possibility into reality.” — Drawdown Review 2020
I believe in limitless possibilities and the realization of untapped potential in all life on this planet.
I believe that setbacks are a time for learning and growth, and that crisis is a moment of opportunity to shift what was into something mutually beneficial for all life.
I believe that we can turn this crisis around.
I’ve been a physical therapist for 40 years, the first 20-years working in conventional settings and the last 20 years in my own practice where I guide individuals in a more holistic and systems thinking approach to healing. I teach the foundation of natural movement—not a quick fix that fails the test of time but rather a process that shifts current thinking and inappropriate movement habits to those that are sustainable, long lasting, and represent our true potential. Clients who find my office have tried conventional methods that have left them unsatisfied. Common attitudes among my clients are their unstoppable spirit of determination and perseverance to find solutions for personal change. I offer them hope and guidance to discover their own natural resilience to heal.
These qualities of hope, determination, perseverance, sustainability, longevity, systems thinking and the interconnection of all life are qualities I embody in pursuing action toward solutions for this climate crisis. I care deeply about life and have spent my career helping individuals heal. With the same commitment for change, I believe we can heal this planet. I see this crisis as a catalyst for needed change. Working together we can make a difference!
