LEWISTON — Hydrogeologist Peter Garrett will be the featured guest speaker of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Thursday, March 23, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Ramada Inn, 490 Pleasant St.

Garrett has lived in Maine half his life, though he doesn’t sound like it (he’s British). An earth scientist by training and a hydrogeologist by profession, he is now very involved as the northern New England coordinator of Citizens’ Climate Lobby volunteers.

CCL volunteers meet with members of Congress regarding a revenue-neutral plan that can serve as a Reagan-like “insurance policy” against the perceived threats of the changing climate, a carbon fee and dividend. It will level the playing field for energy sources to power our every need, speeding the new industrial revolution already underway toward renewables.

Peter is a past president of the Waterville Rotary Club and past assistant district governor. No reservation is required to attend.
