Event Description:
Global Warming Cafe TAKING A STAND ON GLOBAL WARMING: From Conversation To Action! If you watched An Inconvenient Truth and felt the need to do something… If you take pride in standing up for your beliefs… If you want to be part of a community effort that can really make a difference… Then take part in the GLOBAL WARMING CAFÉ. Because we have a lot to talk about… We all now know that scientists overwhelmingly agree that human activity is dangerously warming the earth. Heat is being trapped in a layer of “greenhouse gases,” including carbon dioxide, produced by the fossil fuels we use to drive our cars and heat our homes. We also know that global warming is a dangerous reality, one that will increasingly touch our lives, those of our children and grandchildren, and many of the poorest people on our planet. Serious consequences can already be seen in the form of floods, heat waves, more violent storms and the rise of sea levels. But do you know that the typical U.S. household generates 55,000 pounds of CO2 annually… compared to only 27,000 pounds in Germany and a mere 15,000 pounds in Sweden? There are many ways that we can lower our “carbon footprint.” And guess what… it’s easier when we all do it together. Come find out how! We invite you to join us for an exciting World Café. It’s a powerful, new social change technology that enables us to experience the power of community. You’ll interact with a broad cross-section of friends and neighbors in frank and open conversation that will help us reflect deeply on what global warming means to each of us, individually and as a community. We’ll exchange views, feelings and ideas. We will then learn about a program, Low Carbon Diet, to help us lower our carbon footprint and transfer this knowledge to our communities and workplaces. Are you up for it? Then make this a priority… because when you know the facts, you know there’s nothing more important.
