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 “Global Warming Café†with the Boston Climate Action Network (BostonCAN) and the Jamaica Plain Forum. You will spend an afternoon interacting with a broad cross-section of friends and neighbors in frank and open conversations about Global Warming. We reflect deeply on what it means to each of us, individually and as a community by exchanging views, feelings and ideas. We will also learn about a program, Low Carbon Diet, to help us lower our personal carbon footprints and how to spread the carbon-cutting trend within increasingly greater circles of influence in our communities.
Make this year a turning point for climate action in your community–join us in Jamaica Plain for this Global Warming Café!
