The climate crisis continues to worsen. Catastrophic events will become more frequent. We need action now. First UU has many leaders in the climate movement and has supported Austin climate organizations well, dozens of 1st UUers have already written postcards for our TX Climate PostCard Project, and dozens more have taken action to lower their carbon footprints. But we need to do more.<\/p>\n
During this month, Climate Justice September at 1st UU will provide information and opportunities to learn and act, actions that take little time but have a large impact when done with others. September 1 – 7 Theme for First Week: Personal Actions to Take Every Sunday: Citizens Climate Lobby Postcard Project. Since public policy depends so heavily on elected officials, one activity we\u2019ll continue each week will be writing postcards to get out the vote. We write to folks who want climate action but don\u2019t always vote. Kudos to dozens of 1st UU members who\u2019ve already written hundreds of postcards.<\/p>\n
Sunday, September 1st from 12:30 p.m. \u2013 1:30 p.m. Presentation \u201cStatus of the Climate Crisis and What To Do About It\u201d by Bob Hendricks, Chair of State Sierra Club ExCom and State Coordinator of Citizens Climate Lobby. Bob will highlight the worsening situation, the improving solutions picture, and what each of us can do.<\/p>\n
