REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Education Host a Film Screening

Thank you for raising awareness of women's and gender equality issues. What is the next step to actually address this disparity?

It is important to address the issue and take action on multiple fronts as a way to support policies, promote education and awareness, increase representation in gender roles and recognize and address different identities. This can help foster an inclusive world and work towards having equal gender equalities.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Learn More about Micro Wind

Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
