| Show up for 350 - Oct 24 |
Oct 24: Show up for 350!The scientific consensus is that the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere cannot exceed 350 ppm in the long term if we are to sustain a planet similar to the one we know and to which life on Earth is adapted. Currently, the CO2 in the atmosphere measures well above 350 ppm. The United Nations Climate Change Conference is coming up in Copenhagen this December, and we need the decision makers to know that we are committed to this reduction in greenhouse gases. More than 350 congregations are stepping out on Oct 24th to show their support on this issue. First Unitarian is one of them! Green Team takes off at 8 AM sharp for the new tent's maiden voyage into the Greater Orlando community this weekend at VegFest at Loch Haven park at 900 E. Princeton St. ! The festival is from 10 AM - 6 PM. At 3:50 PM, we take the Orlando 350.org photograph. It will be sent on to 350.org, UU Ministry for Earth, the Florida District, UUA, and the Orlando Sentinel. Come out just as you are, in tie-dye, or with 350 signs. Bring a pal! We're energized, we're excited, we're ready. The tent is as good as it gets... 350.org info, Repower America petition, Fair Trade Coffee Petition, Right to Water, Coalition of Immokalee Farmworkers info, Earth Charter and more! We packed up all our Green issues to take to the streets! The only thing left is... Are YOU going to be there? :) best wishes, Green Team
