Movement Time
August 27, 2010 Leave a commentSix weeks from now, on October 10, 2010, 350.org is sponsoring a global work party to spread and deepen awareness about and inspire further action around our growing climate challenge. This grassroots movement is spreading at a time when most governments and businesses seem inexplicably stymied about how to make fundamental commitments toward shifting unsustainable behaviors. And it feels like we are on the edge of a tipping point, perhaps spurred by this summer’s record breaking heat wave and dramatic weather events in places like Pakistan and Russia. So consider signing up for or hosting a local event if you have not, and take a moment to read this call to action by co-founder Bill McKibben following the failed climate bill in Congress – “Get mad and then get busy.”

For anyone interested, Thich Nhat Hanh recently granted a rare interview (with The Guardian) in which he talked about the need to get serious about climate change. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainability/environment-zen-buddhism-sustainability
