Walk Gently on Earth @ Emerson Unitarian-Universalist Church
Jun 10 @ 1:30 pm

Last fall, world religious leaders presented the interfaith climate declaration,
Walk Gently on Earth, to the UN Conference on Climate Change in Bonn. The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to a talk about the declaration by Imaad Khan, of the Texas Interfaith Center for Public Policy (TICPP), who was there.
Imaad will discuss the presentation of the declaration, its message, and how houses of worship and their members can leverage this initiative. Walk Gently on Earth invites people of faith to lead the world in adopting a sustainable lifestyle. The focus for 2018 is in transforming three areas of our lives: energy use; food consumption; and travel. This talk takes place at Emerson Unitarian Universalist Church in Houston and online via a simultaneous web meeting.
Please register for this event. Texas Interfaith Power and Light, the environmental program of TICPP, has joined this initiative. For more information on the Walk Gently on Earth initiative, see their site at: http://www.txipl.org/content/walk-gently-earth.  For more information about this talk, please contact Lisa Brenskelle.
