A Wonderful Discussion on Climate Change

Last night the Greater Putnam Interfaith Council sponsored a discussion about the Spiritual Implications of Climate Change. The discussion was presented by Lyn Tolar of GPIC. It was a successful evening of like-minded individuals who care about the effects of Climate Change locally and globally. The last section of the presentation brought to our attention how important our values and our faith are to ending the catastrophic effects of global warming for all humanity. Faith can give us the strength to look beyond the gloom of this serious issue and give us guidance to tackle the 21st centuries biggest task within our lifetime.

We concluded that we could act locally and think globally. We are planning on making efforts in our community to raise awareness and make definitive changes for the betterment of our citizens health and lives. In the end, there was a consensus that we needed further opportunities to create action steps to work together within our faith communities. If you would like to be involved in these discussions please contact Lyn Tolar through her email at tolar@infoResolution.com.
