A Success: Climate Change Author/Activist Sam Avery's ECTC Talk

Round stone Creek in Hart Co.

What a great night we had Oct 10 at author/activist Sam Avery's ECTC Climate Change/Keystone Pipeline paradigm talk at which many of you joined us!  Seventy-five persons were in attendance with several students.  Several churches, including First Presbyterian Church of Elizabethtown, Radcliff Presbyterian Church, Memorial United Methodist Church, and The Community of Christ Episcopal/Christ Lutheran Chapel partnered with the Green Team and the Sustainability Committee of ECTC to bring this talk to the community. 

Sam gave a compelling talk--simple in concept, calm and encouraging in tone-- but directly  addressing this most critical  challenge to humanity.   He gave the audience three statistics to remember: (1) 2 degrees, (2) 41 percent and (3) four or five times.   I will be explaining and addressing these numbers in subsequent blposts.

 Also joining us was Sister Clare from St. Catherine's in Washington County. She has been featured on NPR, CNN, USA Today--    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/08/02/nuns-monks-deny-kentucky-gas-pipeline/2611405/     as the nun who told the pipeline company that they could not survey their land.   She told me of their organization New Pioneers for a Sustainable Future   stressing  in Washington County. http://newpioneersfsf.org/   

Finally,  ECTC was a marvelous partner with which to collaborate.  We are looking forward to this continuing relationship with developing an  Earth Fair in the Spring! More coming up on that!
