The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to consider the challenges and opportunities that lie before Houston, a key city in the global response to changing weather patterns, emerging economies and changing consumer preferences and needs.

In this presentation, called “Making Houston a Resilient City – How Houses of Worship Can Help,” environmental attorney Jim Blackburn will discuss the scope of current problems, some ideas to bring resilience to our community in the future, and the role of houses of worship could play in realizing this future. But, this future can only be achieved by personal commitment and action, and to reach it, we all are going to have to come together and act for the common good, a great challenge for the faith community.

This event is free and open to the public. If you cannot attend in person, it is also available as a webinar. For more information and to register, visit eventbrite.com.
