What can YOU do to help address climate change? Join the Drawdown Ecochallenge! April 3rd – 24th
Sign up now to participate in the internationally recognized Drawdown Ecochallenge, which runs from April 3-24! The Drawdown EcoChallenge is a fun and social way to learn about and take measurable action on the most substantive solutions to climate change. It provides an interactive online platform for individuals to obtain researched and effective ways to reduce our collective carbon footprint, select the actions they would like to take, track and share their progress progress online in a robust platform and earn points for taking action! These solutions are outlined in the book Drawdown by Paul Hawkins, which focuses on proven actions that are backed by science and within the grasp of our communities. Actions include not only personal behavior options, but also broader policy and community opportunities. Participants can join an existing team or create a new one. And it is free and open to all. Join our team or make your own – then see how your team compares with others in Jefferson County! We currently have a Local 20/20 team and others are forming. We encourage all Jefferson County organizations to create their own! For questions on the Jefferson County effort, contact Cindy Jayne at cindy@l2020.org, or Mandi Johnson at (480) 215-4403.
Local Initiatives Action Group – Local 20/20 – Mon April 1st *New*
Local Initiatives Action Group is facilitating community action by providing logistical support for direct action on pressing issues. The global problem is a product of large-scale, centralized ideology. By building small-scale, decentralized solutions on the community level, we can create here in Jefferson County a model for communities everywhere Community projects of this kind will initiate a change in the current of our society in ways the political process simply cannot. We are open to discuss proposed projects and are currently working on the logistics of the plastic recycling project at hand. Bring your experience, skills and ideas for action!
Time:5:30 pm to 6:30 pm Location: The Pink House at the PT Library
