Leadership and Action on Climate Change
Please sign the Climate Change petition at
Coffee Hour! Our Canadian government reps as

returned from the Durban Climate Change
conference. Show your concern for climate change
by signing the petition to the House of Commons

Leadership and Action on Climate Change". Please

Update:
"Awakening the Dreamer/Changing the
Dream" Symposium
The Awakening the Dreamer/Changing the Dream
Symposium held at Fairlawn November 2011 inspired several
groups to pursue the Dream of
seeking
an
environmentally
sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just human presence on
our planet.
As a result of the
Symposium and the Action Planning session, our 'blessed unrest'
has energized us to form three projects teams. Please
contact us at
FairlawnGreenTeam@gmail.com and put your passion into
action.
-
The
Awareness team is planning an educational tour
-
The
Action team is planning a gardening initiative, such
as a green roof
-
The
Advocacy team is researching (you may be interested
in attending the
Advocacy & Activism 101 workshop at Fairlawn)
In the
coming months we will further develop our action plan in these
three themes and share the news here.
"If you think you're too small to make a
difference,
you haven't been in bed with a
mosquito."

Our Mandate
The mandate of Fairlawn Green Action is to raise awareness, educate
and promote action to help us become better stewards of the Earth, as
part of Faith in Action. We should understand and live every day in a
way that respects the interdependence we have on the Earth and its web
of life.
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues threatening our
planet, its inhabitants, society and the economy -- making it a very
important social justice issue. Fairlawn Green Action's focus is to
educate and act to combat global warming and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, for a just and sustainable world.
