Climate Action Team

Members of the Climate Action Team have a passion for preventing and mitigating the impacts of climate change at the individual, local, state, federal and international levels.  We’re taking action in three ways:

  • Understanding and responding to the spiritual imperative to act

  • Encouraging stewardship

  • Advocating for positive change in our community and beyond

We meet 5:30-6:30 pm on the second Monday of the month, currently via Zoom.  For more information contact Lorrie Benson
