The St. Bede’s 60+ Lunch Group asked me to share my presentation on climate change. I included statements from the Episcopal Council of Bishops on climate change. The presentation included basic facts about climate change; however, I knew that most of the audience was already convinced of the effects of human-made greenhouse gases. It was an interactive session where the audience shared what they were already doing and planned to do. We also talked about what the church could do to green its structure. Afterwards, Joan Brown, Executive Director of NM IPL, met with the Grounds and Building Committee. She gave suggestions of what the church could do right away. They plan to do a full energy audit. They seem really excited to make changes.
I originally gave my presentation to the Baha’is of Albuquerque in January 2013 after completing the Wilmette Institute course on climate change the previous spring. I adapt the presentation according to the needs of the audience. The Wilmette Institute is an online educational organization sponsored by the Baha’is of the United States of which I am a member.
