Earth Ministry Gathering: Food, Climate Change, and the Church
24 October 2009 - 9:30am
We are pleased to invite colleagues and members of Earth Ministry to a 350 event that seeks to integrate the urgency of climate change with the inspiration and mobilization of faith communities. The program will begin at 9:30am and conclude with a potluck lunch at 12 noon.
With this event, we will introduce Earth Ministry's "Caring for All Creation: At the Table." Using this great resource as a platform, we will explore the link between climate change and our food production, transportation and consumption. Effective change comes through collaboration and cooperation, so we will conclude our program by asking our Greening Congregations Colleagues to share their own great work-- challenges and concerns as well as successes and hopes-- with one another and all of us in dialogue.
Afterward, please join us for our potluck lunch and bring your favorite food or drink produced within 350 miles of Seattle, WA: delicious artisan breads or gourmet cheeses from your local farmer's market, apples from eastern Washington, Walla Walla or Willamette wines, a fresh salad made from your personal garden's bounty-- feel free to be creative! We look forward to celebrating and supporting sustainable change with you.
Please visit our website or call 206.632.2426 for details.

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
