Earth Day 2020 theme: Climate Action
How can you get started on your climate action journey?
Will your read Elin Kelsey’s book “We are Stardust”?
Will you watch the movie Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe?
Perhaps you will do your part for climate action by walking around your house turning off as many lights and electrical appliances and devices as possible.
During April, Earth Month, how can you support the Earth Day 2020 theme – Climate Action?? This is a great activity to do during these days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Try self-isolation by candle-light. Take a step back in time before the earth population created a carbon footprint. Try to reduce your carbon footprint to zero by not using any electricity, nor natural gas, nor gas for a whole day! Can you do it? Why or why not?

“St. Barbe’s unique capacity to pass on his enthusiasm to others. . . Many foresters all over the world found their vocations as a result of hearing ‘The Man of the Trees’ speak. I certainly did, but his impact has been much wider than that. Through his global lecture tours, St. Barbe has made millions of people aware of the importance of trees and forests to our planet.” Allan Grainger
“The science of forestry arose from the recognition of a universal need. It embodies the spirit of service to mankind in attempting to provide a means of supplying forever a necessity of life and, in addition, ministering to man’s aesthetic tastes and recreational interests. Besides, the spiritual side of human nature needs the refreshing inspiration which comes from trees and woodlands. If a nation saves its trees, the trees will save the nation. And nations as well as tribes may be brought together in this great movement, based on the ideal of beautifying the world by the cultivation of one of God’s loveliest creatures – the tree.” ~ Richard St. Barbe Baker.
“I believed that God has lent us the Earth. It belongs as much to those who come after us as to us, and it ill behooves us by anything we do or neglect, to deprive them of benefits which are in our power to bequeath.” Richard St. Barbe Baker

Excellent movie Global Weirding with Katharine Hayhoe. I like the idea of comparing 2 degree C rise in global temperature to the same in the human body. If your temp, normally 37, is now 39, not only do you feel unwell, you’re sick! The earth is sick!
