Do you, or others you know, wonder where is the hope in environmental justice work? Are you, or others, overwhelmed and trying to find inspiration for growing sustainable movements and advocating for just policies? You are not alone, many of us are worried about the future of our common home. Earth Ministry/Washington Interfaith Power & Light is excited to partner with Faith in Place, the Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin affiliate of Interfaith Power & Light for their free, virtual Green Team Summit September 11-14. Register to join the Summit - be sure to say you heard about it from Earth Ministry/WAIPL! This year’s summit will feature Dr. Katharine Hayhoe as the primary speaker. Dr. Hayhoe is a prolific and encouraging voice within movements for environmental justice. An accomplished atmospheric scientist who studies climate change and why it matters to us here and now Dr. Hayhoe says the following, “the bottom line is this. To care about climate change, you only need to be one thing, and that’s a person living on planet Earth who wants a better future. Chances are, you’re already that person—and so is everyone else you know.” The keynote panel will kick off the Summit, Sunday, September 11 at 3pm Pacific Time and explore the Summit's theme, "Rooted Together." Each day, there will be workshops diving deeper into topics like climate change and hope, climate resilience, and healing.
