There's no better time to action on climate change!
Join a 4-session Climate Change Action Group at the Ecology Center:
Tuesdays, 6-8pm: November 3, 10, 17 and 24 (last session optional due to holidays)
RSVP to debra [at] ecologycenter.org
Have you already participated in an action group or don't have time right now?
*Pass on this invitation to your friends, family, neighbors and colleagues.
*Invite the Ecology Center to facilitate a group in your workplace or community at no charge.
*Get trained to lead your own group. Next training: Thursday, 10/29, 6-8:30pm at the Ecology Center.
How do the Climate Change Action Groups work?
During four weekly sessions, you will join with a small group of Bay Area residents to calculate your carbon footprint, create a measurable personal action plan to reduce your footprint and make substantive changes in your community.
In addition to inviting you to join a group at the Ecology Center, we will provide no-cost facilitation at your workplace, congregation, neighborhood, or with another community group to which you belong. Climate Change Action Groups can be held as brown bag lunch series or as evening or weekend gatherings. Workplace groups give participants the opportunity to collectively strategize how to make effective organizational changes to reduce the business's footprint, including consideration of how energy and resources are used around the workplace, how employees travel to and from work, and the footprint of the goods and services the business creates, among other issues.
Participation and facilitation services are free. A $10 fee (at cost) will be charged for the Low Carbon Diet workbook. No one turned away for lack of funds.
How do I sign up?
Write to debra [at] ecologycenter.org and pass on this message to your friends and colleagues. For more information, visit http://www.ecologycenter.org

While I think this workshop may be well intentioned, I think it could really develop into a kind of group think kind of process based mostly on kind of Green Washing Products, like Florescent lights which have hazardous wastes like mercury and photovoltaic cells that are made from nonrenewable resources like plastics and many metals. I do not like the peer pressure aspect of it and the fact that many environmental groups really look at the fact that we really need to change much more deeply the way we live........Computers like one I am on and cell phones and other devices.....Cellphones emit radiation.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
