Nat'l Conversation on Climate Action this Thursday

Message from Commissioner Thaell:

Dear Neighbors & Friends:

Please join me this week, Thursday, October 4th, for a national
conversation on how you and I can reduce greenhouse gasses that cause
global warming. The National Conversation on Climate Action is a
coast-to-coast initiative to promote conversation about what we can
do in our homes and in our hometown. In the absence of national
leadership to address this worldwide crisis, the solution, at least
for now, is up to us.

Leon County is a member of the International Council on Environmental
Initiatives (ICLEI) – Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI-
member cities and counties across the nation are hosting similar
conversations this Thursday. At our conversation, we'll talk about
the science of global warming, and look at what we can do, now, to
affect positive change. Your county government is not waiting for the
state or the feds to act, and is developing methods, now, for a more
sustainable future.

The National Conversation is designed to highlight and catalyze local
efforts to address global warming, build local awareness and
facilitate community engagement. Participants at the event will hear
from scientists, public officials, climate authorities, County staff,
and can participate in an interactive conversation about climate
conditions and what and can be done right here in Leon County.

So please join me this Thursday, October 4, at the Leon County Public
Library at 6:30 PM. Let's fight this global problem together! For
more information on the National Conversation on Climate Action,
please contact Leon County Public Information Officer Jenn Meale at
(850) 606-5314. For more information on ICLEI – Local Governments for
Sustainability, visit their website at www.iclei.org.

Pass it along!

Thanks,
Cliff
