International Day Of Climate Action Event
Let your family, friends, and neighbors know that Foxborough Universalist Church, UUA, will be holding an event at the church to encourage global stewardship and actions that promote a sustainable planet and environment for all.

The activities will begin at 3:00 p.m. If necessary, the event will be held inside the church.

More details:

Join the Foxborough community to observe International Day Of Climate Action beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, at the Foxborough Universalist Church, UUA, (6 Bird Street/On The Common). The public is invited to this free, environmentally focused event that will include interactive demonstrations, an activity that will encourage people to reduce their carbon usage, educational handouts, FACT members, face painting, guest speakers including a Foxborough Selectman and minister Katie Lawson, and more!

This “Unite For Climate Action” event will be one of thousands of activities being held around the globe in more than 140 nations to urge world leaders to take fast and effective action on global warming during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, in December 2009. Organized by 350.org, this is the first global campaign ever organized around a scientific data point: 350 parts per million (ppm) of Carbon Dioxide (CO₂). 350 is the safe upper limit of CO₂ for the atmosphere, according to the latest scientific data.

Grounded in the Unitarian Universalist Association’s (UUA) 7^th Principle “Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”, this weeks activities are part of the congregation’s ongoing Green Sanctuary efforts centered on environmental stewardship. For more than 40 years, Unitarian Universalists have promoted environmental awareness, embraced individual responsibility to create a sustainable planet for all, and urged leaders around the world to create policies that would result in reducing harmful impacts on our environment from human activities.

All are welcome to participate in the October 24 activities at the church (6 Bird Street, Foxborough). If you want more information or need directions, please call the church at 508-543-4002 or visit on-line at http://green.uufoxborough.org.

Here are the latest numbers: On Oct. 24, 2009, the International Day Of Climate Action, over 3,700 actions will happen around the world, in over 162 countries.
