CLIMATE ACTION CALENDAR, 2022
From Alan Northcutt:
May
14-15: Chalk Waco 2022. Waco
Friends of the Climate has collaborated on a 10'X10' chalk mural on the topic
of the climate crisis with renowned local artist Susan Sistrunk. Our
concept has met her artistic skill and produced a powerful mural entitled
"Our Choice." We encourage all members to attend this event and
come view our entry, on an alley at 7th and Austin Ave. downtown. The
event will happen on Saturday, 12 to 8pm and Sunday 12 to 5pm. I plan to
be there around opening time on Saturday, hoping to give out our climate information
cards. There will also be other murals to see, food, art activities,
music and a fashion show. Please attend and support our effort at climate
education and inspiration. To reach me on Saturday or Sunday, text
254.744.1682.
June, 2022: Waco Friends of the Climate
Meeting. Our
May meeting did not materialize because of a family issue. We are working
on a venue for June and will announce the specifics as soon as
available. I understand that everyone is eager to have a live meeting
after the prolonged pandemic interruption, and we feel the same.
Suggestions for a venue are welcome, especially if they satisfy the
following criteria: large enough for 45 people, projector and screen for
slide shows and films, and rules allowing food and drink in the meeting
room. Email me with any suggestions: anorthc@aol.com.
September 13, 14, 17: Waco
Sustainability Conference. Save the
date. Details to follow.
October 15,16 : Iron Man
Triathlon. We were
requested by a friend to provide volunteers for this athletic event and agreed
to do so. Anyone who would like to volunteer, please email me at
anorthc@aol.com.
October 29: FREE Trees to Address the
Climate Crisis. In light
of the success of our first tree distribution, we are planning a second event
for 9am until 2pm at the Downtown Farmer's Market. We will distribute the
very popular and beautiful Crepe Myrtle, the Biloxi variety that grows to 30ft.
and has pink flowers. The species is drought tolerant and firesmart, according
to Texas A&M Forestry Service. Volunteers will be needed.
November 7-18: COP 27. The COP 27 will be in Sharm El-Sheikh
Egypt this year. We plan to attend this session and other members may
join us. This is a great opportunity for climate education,
and we may also participate in actions of civil society inside and outside the
venue.
