Dreier to Be Earth Day 2023 Keynote for Pittsville High School

Through her keynote speech entitled, “Your Planet, Your Future,” on April 28, Patty Dreier will seek to empower 150 students at the High School in Pittsville, Wisconsin, as part of their 2023 Earth Day activities.

“How exciting!” exclaimed Dreier about this opportunity to share a half hour with the entire school. “I am looking forward to making the connection between the qualities of life and environment on this planet, and the quality of their own future. I will challenge them to get involved in standing up for their planet and their future in ways they may have never thought of before.”

Dreier will also highlight her book, Empowered: One Planet at a Time, as a resource to help them take charge of their destiny. She will donate a copy to the school library and give one to science teacher Lacey Foate who hopes to teach an environmental course in the future. The book was written as a toolkit for the next generation of leaders and their teachers and mentors. For more information, visit www.bluespring.life.
