Time: 5:30 reception, 6:30 - 7:30 program. RSVP Emily Demmeck 281-332-3381 Sponsors: Houston Audubon and Galveston Bay Foundation.
January 20, 7pm. Panel discussion on eating local food. Our food travels an average of 1,000 miles. To produce a calorie of US food, we spend about 10 calories of fossil fuels. Not just bad for the climate, but also bad for our food security. As fuel prices rise, food goes up faster. The solution is "Eat local". Details at Urban Harvest homepage. Scroll down to Food for Thought or call 713-880-5540. Urban Harvest supports local food growing and local organic farmers. Also, if 2% of US farms became organic, then it would equal taking 1 million cars off the road. If all US farms switched, it would sequester 700 billion pounds of carbon in the soil.
January 31, "Awakening the Dreamer Symposium" Connect with people who care about sustainability, spirituality and social justice, the biggest challenges and opportunities of our time. In the Woodlands.
February 21, Sunday 10:30 am, Reverent Greta Browne will tell the church about how she walked from New Orleans to Canada to urge folks to protect the climate. She has developed a 10-Step Carbon Adiction Program. Location First Unitarian Universalist Church, 5200 Fannin at Southmore. 713-526-5200
