This Sunday in Religious Education Classes: October 11, 2009
This Sunday in RE
Religious Education this Sunday- Our UUP children and youth will participate in the International Day of Climate Action by learning about global warming, ocean acidification, and how rising levels of carbon dioxide are damaging coral reefs, shellfish and other ocean species. Stacey Meinzen will present information on climate change and explain how humans must reduce carbon dioxide levels to less than 350 parts per million in our atmosphere to sustain life on our planet. The kids will then create a large sculpture with the number 350 painted on a basketball hoop and backboard from Recycletown. The kids will choose a slogan such as "Let's Shoot for 350" or "One Planet, One Shot, 350" or "We Only Get One Shot, 350". A photo of the sculpture and UUPers will then be sent to the International Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen. Our RE day will combine science with hands on woodworking and painting.
Our efforts will be part of Unitarian Universalist activities all over the nation. The Unitarian Universalist Ministry for the Earth is working to get 350 congregations involved. Working together with many other UU's, we will work to save the world.
