Finding Hope in a Climate Crisis
April 23, 2023 | 9:00 am & 11:00 am
Today’s Topic:
Trying to find hope in this time of climate crisis can feel daunting and even impossible. Thankfully, many of the scientists and activists closest to the challenges we all face have found ways to live with integrity and joy while making a positive difference. Join us on this Earth Day Sunday when we will explore individual and collective possibilities to live up to our 7th UU Principle and approach the reality of climate change with respect for the interdependent web of existence of which we are all a part.
