Doug O’Malley, FPC member and director of Environment New Jersey, will be returning as speaker and discussion leader. He’ll refresh our understanding of key ideas in Katharine Hayhoe’s book, Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World, particularly on the importance of local and individual actions. He’ll provide an update on climate actions at the local/regional level and debrief us on climate provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that, in his words, is a ‘big deal’. We'll also hear about the participation of the church in a district-wide energy savings program (featured in the March Messenger). And we'll be inviting the authors of last year's climate action plans to share how things went over the year.

The hybrid class will be held in the McColl Room beginning around 12:30, and on Zoom. Register below to attend remotely. (Registration for in-person attendance is not required.)
