SUMMARY:Living the Change
DESCRIPTION:Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline)\, and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions must come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But\, it translates to only a 10%/year reduction\, starting now. And\, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions\, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal.   \n\n\n\nParticipants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal through targeted lifestyle improvements that will also save them money. The course was developed in response to the Walk on Earth Gently multifaith statement\, inspired by religious teachings to turn away from consumerism & to seek balanced relationships with all people and the planet. Walk on Earth Gently invites you into a journey of Living the Change that the world needs. This program will work individually with participants\, on dates and times that work for both them and the facilitator.  Those already far along on their carbon footprint reduction journey may only need a few sessions with the facilitator to complete their 50% carbon footprint reduction plan\, whereas others may need more sessions.  Accept the Walk on Earth Gently invitation and commit to a sustainable lifestyle.   \n\n\n\nRegister for this course on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1975018418255.  \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:A Faithful and Hopeful Response to Willful Climate Denial Policies
DESCRIPTION:Since January 2025\, the President\, his Congressional yes-men/women\, and the courts have been systematically overturning existing legislation and passing new limitations on successful climate policies\, withdrawing from global commitments\, and gutting scientific funding that was making a difference in combatting the climate crisis.  At the same time\, many within the faith community have remained hopeful and are taking steps to counter these negative influences from the current administration.   \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, join Mel Caraway\, retired United Methodist pastor\, as he looks at positive steps that are being taken to combat ecological uncertainty. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided.  \n\n\n\nPlease register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1981951471203. This virtual event will use the WebEx platform. Registrants will receive a separate e-mail with WebEx connection details.  All registrants will get a link to the recording of this talk.  \n\n\n\nContact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
