We Must Act now!

"Because climate change is a truly global, complex problem with economic, social, political and moral ramifications, the solution will require both a globally-coordinated response (such as international policies and agreements between countries, a push to cleaner forms of energy) and local efforts on the city- and regional-level (for example, public transport upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, sustainable city planning, etc.).
It’s up to us what happens next."  -NASA

​To kick off our effort on climate change.  Laura Wagner, MSW, Executive Director of UU Mass Action was the guest leader of our worship service on October 6th. Her sermon, "Creating Justice," can be found on our SoundCloud podcast.

• Climate Crisis Primer - a resource that concisely explains some of the problems we are facing.
• Comparison of climate impacts at 1.5°C, 2°C, 3°C and 4°C - this is the source of the graphics displayed at church. 
• ​Climate Changes Health - the impacts of climate change on our health.
• Take Action - How you can help! Here you'll find links to local and national organizations working on the problem. Visit the information table during Friendship Hour (11 am, after Sunday worship) for more information.
• For the month of October, our brown paper envelope collections were for  ​350.org. For November, we are collecting for Sunrise. Collections are made during the church offering.
