CAMDEN — Mid-Coast Audubon is set to host the next program in its nature talk series, in partnership with Camden Public Library, Climate Zero 54° N to 54° S by Bike with Andre Breton. The event is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, at the 55 Main St. library.
Andre Breton’s ambitious bicycle journey began on Sept. 11, 2023, in Cartwright, Labrador, Canada, and ended 284 days later in Ushuaia, Argentina. The primary goals of Climate Zero were twofold: to plant enough trees to zero out his 52-year carbon footprint and to ride a bicycle from 54° north to 54° south, a complete transect of the Americas.
Climate Zero was an opportunity for Breton to challenge himself and to raise awareness about the devastating implications of climate change. He demonstrated that everyone can make a positive difference in the global effort to reverse climate change. He will share some of his experiences and insights from living on a bike for most of a year. He hopes his story will inspire others to take action to address climate change.
