CAMDEN — The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues Thursday, Jan. 16, at 6:30 p.m., with a presentation from Andre Breton about his adventure across the hemispheres by bicycle.

Andre Breton’s ambitious journey began on September 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.

This program will be held in person in the Picker Room.

Climate Zero was an opportunity for Breton to challenge himself and to raise awareness about the devastating implications of climate change. His journey demonstrated that everyone can make a positive difference in the global effort to reverse climate change, according to Camden Public Library, in a news release.

Breton will share some of his experiences and insights from living on a bike for most of a year, and hopes his story will inspire others to take action to address climate change.
