Operation of the Peace Nook, a largely volunteer-staffed resource center for peace, social justice, environmental and sustainability concerns and human rights. The Peace Nook houses our offices, a library, meeting space, displays, and provides access to books and other informational resources for promoting peace, justice and sustainability, as well as environmental and fair trade products, and products with educational messages related to our mission. The Peace Nook is where we hold our classes and discussion groups. The Peace Nook is open seven days a week and serves as an informational hub and a referral resource for the mid-Missouri community. We estimate that more than 12,000 people come to the Peace Nook to access resources over the course of each year.

Public education on Safe, Sustainable Energy options, through our Peaceworks' Missourians for Climate Action project. We educate the public on the benefits of utilizing renewable energy & energy efficiency as opposed to finite and polluting energy sources. Much of our efforts are directed at education on the need to effectively address climate change, an existential threat. We hold public informational programs, host expert speakers, hold town hall style meetings, show films and conduct classes on climate change. We also focus on the connection of energy policy and nuclear weapons proliferation, a major concern that is often overlooked in considering the nuclear power option. In addition to public educational events, we operate a speakers' bureau, and have a strong on-line presence through social media, including Facebook. We also engage the public at a variety of events, fairs and community gatherings. We estimate that through our various programs we are in contact with upwards of 10,000 people.

The SLF includes workshops, solar tours, a keynote speaker, booths, displays, children's activities and more. This free event is the highlight of CSL's annual educational work.
