April book club meeting

The Environmental Rotary Club of Puget Sound is reviving its bookclub! Only one person came to our January book club, so if you want this to keep going, please attend! In April we will discuss the book The Sixth Extinction: an Unusual History, by Elizabeth Kolbert.

Over the last half-billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us.
