Climate Action Team
Members of the Climate Action Team have a passion for preventing and mitigating the impacts of climate change at the individual, local, state, federal and international levels. We’re taking action in three ways:
Understanding and responding to the spiritual imperative to act
Encouraging stewardship
Advocating for positive change in our community and beyond
We meet 5:30-6:30 pm on the second Monday of the month, currently via Zoom. For more information contact Lorrie Benson
