Sustainability Networking Meeting

Calling Salem Area Climate Change Activists:

Sustainability Networking Meeting

June 27 at Willamette University, 7 p.m.

Salem’s First Congregational Church recently completed a project called Mission

4/1 Earth aimed at addressing climate change issues. During this time, we

involved our members in climate change mitigation efforts, sponsored several

adult education programs, focused on climate change in a series of six consecutive

sermons, organized a visit to Zena Farm in West Salem, and culminated with a

major workshop by climate change expert Bob Doppelt from The Resource

Innovation Group in Eugene.

Now it is time for Mission 4/1 Earth to move beyond its introductory phase and take its place among

others addressing climate change. To this end, we would like to help strengthen the networking

between ourselves and other climate change mitigation efforts. That is why we are inviting you to

meet with us and representatives of other climate change approaches at 7 pm on Thursday, June

27, at the Willamette University School of Education, 240 Cottage St. SE. Please invite others who

are interested in making a difference on climate change to join us.

If you are able to join us, please let us know by contacting Peter Bergel at pbergel@igc.org or 503-371-8002.

If you are not able to attend this meeting, but are interested in what we are doing, likewise let Peter know.
