On Wednesday, September 2nd, join the Underwater HOA for our virtual monthly meeting presentation and discussion: Environmental Impacts and Resource Dependency of Digital/Online Culture, with Hunter Vaughan, author, media scholar, and Environmental Media Scholar-in-Residence at University of Colorado Boulder.  Mr. Vaughan will present an often overlooked dimension to climate change in how technology and its widespread utilization for mass communications is contributing to climate change through large scale energy extraction and consumption.

We will also breakout into our two Underwater HOA subcommittees: Pinecrest UHOA or Engagement & Programming.
