Carol Devine -  Every one of us vote Each of us contact at least 10 other people and ask them to vote (send them info on when, where, how to vote) Provide rides to polls Provide food and water to those standing in line to vote Communicate (talk) about both climate and voting – EcoAmerica Social MediaToolkit from Rev.

COP27 MEETING IN EGYPT What is COP27? What you need to know about the U.N. climate summit. World leaders will meet in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh for climate talks, as the United Nations warns "the work ahead is immense." (Washington Post) https://wapo.st/3t5SaJf PC(USA) Delegation to Attend COP27 https://www.presbyterianmission.org/.../pcusa-delegation.../   Do It All for the Glory of God: Eating for a Healthy Climate   Webinar Hosted by PEC   Most are aware that combustion of fossil fuels is the dominant cause of climate change, but did you know there is another, largely hidden source responsible for as much as one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions?  Scientists have shown that even if fossil fuels were eliminated immediately, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to prevent catastrophic climate change. This presentation will explain how food is contributing to the climate emergency, and offer science-based guidelines for making everyday dietary choices to reduce our climate “foodprint”. By being mindful of the environmental impact of our diets, our meals can become a joyful expression of our Christian values, honoring the right of children and all Creation to a safe climate and a livable future, all for the glory of God.
