SUMMARY:100 Climate Solutions for Houses of Worship & Their Members
DESCRIPTION:100 Climate Solutions for Houses of Worship & Their Members \nSunday\, May 9\, 2 p.m.\, online \n  \n“Can we reverse global warming by 2050?” is the question addressed by Project Drawdown.   Project Drawdown’s research into all possible solutions yielded the top 100 most impactful solutions to climate change\, in priority order\, with estimates of cost and benefits.  The results may surprise you. \nHere are a few examples: \n  Changing our food habits should help as much as wind power.  “Eat your veggies and clean your plate.”  If food waste were a country it would be the third largest emitter\, just behind the USA and China.  Animal products require ten to a hundred times more land than vegetables. \n  3 billion folks cook with firewood.  A $30 to $100 factory-made stove cuts fuel usage by 50 – 75%.  1.5 billion people can’t afford the up-front cost of such a stove\, even if it will save them money or time. \n· Humanity is changing refrigerants again.  The current ones are potent greenhouse gases.  This should save 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming. \nNan Hildreth\, climate activist\, will explain how you can support the most impactful responses to climate change\, whether in your personal life\, at your house of worship\, or around the world. \nLearn more/register on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/100-climate-solutions-for-houses-of-worship-their-members-tickets-148445545623. \nContact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com for more information.

SUMMARY:A Resilient Future for All Rests on Prioritizing the Most Vulnerable
DESCRIPTION:Join Kristen Schlemmer\, Legal Director at Bayou City Waterkeeper\, as she considers how disasters\, while affecting large portions of the Houston population\, impact the vulnerable more severely and why building resilience is critical.  Hurricane Harvey and Winter Storm Uri showed us that disasters increasingly affect large portions of our region’s population. While many of us are able to recover from these storms in a matter of weeks\, decades of underinvestment in our water systems and flood protection have left low-income communities especially vulnerable to the long-term effects of a single disaster. As we work toward a resilient future for all\, we must focus on those most affected by historic neglect\, as well as disaster over the long-term. If we emphasize justice for the most vulnerable among us\, we will secure resilience for all.  With science\, law\, and policy\, Bayou City Waterkeeper works with local communities to protect and restore natural systems\, achieve equitable policy solutions\, and systematically advance change to benefit all who live within the Lower Galveston Bay watershed encompassing the greater Houston area. Time will be provided for discussion with the audience after Kristen’s talk.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n
