Lobby Day on Capitol Hill doesn’t sound like a date that a university professor would circle on his calendar.
But Rick Hammer, associate professor of biology and environmental science at Hardin-Simmons University, had June 12 marked for a long time. That was the day set aside during the three-day Citizens Climate Lobby conference to meet with Congress members on Capitol Hill.
The rest of the conference, attended by about 1,200 people, was devoted to training and workshops.
