INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION

Saturday 24th October

Frank Kitts Park

Jervois Quay, Wellington

10.00am to 3.50pm
Come and sit for as long as you wish

BYO seating

Why sitting in silence?

* A simple way in which people of all faiths and none can come together, with a spiritual focus, to express our shared concerns about the impact of climate change on the future of life on this planet Earth.
* A powerful way in which we can re-connect with our inherent wisdom and compassion - qualities that are both essential in order for humanity to overcome the huge problems that climate change presents us with.
* A time to step out of the usual busy "doing" and "getting" of our daily lives which, when taken to excess, is the underlying cause of human made climate change.

Why 350 minutes?

* Because 350 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the upper safe level for a stable climate. (It is already at 387ppm and rising).
* For more information about Climate Action Day and climate change go to http://www.350.org .

Some ways in which you can help (you might think of others!)

* Getting the word out in your own community.
* Distributing posters.
* Being part of a roster of people committed to sitting and/or welcoming for a specific time period on the day.
* Or ... by just coming to join others on the 24th October.
