Important Announcements

CURRENT INFORMATION: go to our Facebook group "Waco Friends of the Climate." 1) Beginning Jan. 2025, our focus has been on resistance to Donald Trump, since his policies are our greatest threat to the climate. Thus, we are not having monthly meetings at this time. We hope to hold monthly meetings in the future. Visit our Facebook group for current activities, Waco Friends of the Climate. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1330231820335851 2) Our role in the resistance includes a weekly protest at the pedestrian bridge in Waco, Valley Mills Dr. & Bagby Avenue, each Sunday, 1:00pm-2:30pm. We began the protest in March 2025 and it has been carried on weekly for over one year. We provide huge, highly visible banners. Please join us. RESISTING FASCISM, ONE SUNDAY AT A TIME. 3) Because of the sad passing of our webmaster, Harrison Ward, we have not been able to keep the website up to date.

Looking Forward in 2022

Meetings:  In light of the current explosion of omicron variant COVID cases in McLennan County, I believe it is wise to delay live meetings.  When we do return to in person meetings. vaccination with booster will be required.  And unless CDC recommendations change, masking will also be necessary.

Go Renewable Waco:  We continue to attend and comment at Council & Sustainable Resource Practices Advisory Board meetings, advising decarbonization in all policy decisions.  We have also attempted to provide input at the Building Standards Committee recently, but the meeting was cancelled due to lack of quorum.


New Major Project:  As the styrofoam recycling program winds down, we are studying options for a new project.  Please forward any ideas to anorthc@aol.com.   All ideas are welcome, but it would be great to adopt another program that is positive and involves the City at large, as did styrofoam. 


Thanks to all our members for their dedication and patience.  With effort by all to promote the climate art exhibit, 1000s will be reached, with information, inspiration, and options for taking action on the climate crisis.
