- 10:00am -2:00pm East End Farmers Market (weekly)
As recent scientific reports have made clear, a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 is needed to avoid the worst impacts of a changing climate. The multifaith statement to the U.N. Climate Conference, Walk on Earth Gently, invites people of faith into a journey of Living the Change that the world needs – a transformation to a sustainable lifestyle. The journey is inspired by religious teachings to turn away from consumerism & to seek balanced relationships with all people and the planet we share as our common home. Texans of all faiths, or no faith at all, are invited join us on the journey, in a weekly small group discussion focused on making personal lifestyle changes in three key areas: transportation, energy, and food. Join us on this 12-week journey to reducing your contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Can’t make it every week? Join us as you are able. A detailed schedule is given below. All participants will receive a copy of Living the Change materials. Are you ready to commit to a more sustainable lifestyle? Then join us on this journey to Living the Change.  Please register for this event on www.eventbrite.com.

Event Information
About this event
Avoid the consumer hype of the “holiday season†with daily intimate, beautifully-written portraits of wild animals and their adaptations to the cold and dark of winter. The author sees in these creatures lessons for adapting to the “winters†in our own lives. The book, although intended as a devotional for the Christian season of Advent, is very unusual in that it contains no overtly religious content, making it suitable for people of all faiths, or no faith at all. So, Christians, environmentalists, animal lovers & others will be captivated and inspired by these stories. Join a weekly discussion group, online, to reflect together on All Creation Waits.
