Climate Action For Peace

​The United Nations
has designated
September 21st
as an
International Day of Peace.

Each year,
the UN selects a theme
to promote global peace initiatives.
​
​This year, the focus is...

Here is a bit from their website about
why 
CLIMATE ACTION
is necessary for
PEACE...

"Climate change causes clear threats to international peace and security. Natural disasters displace three times as many people as conflicts, forcing millions to leave their homes and seek safety elsewhere. The salinization of water and crops is endangering food security, and the impact on public health is escalating. The growing tensions over resources and mass
movements of people are affecting every country on every continent."

So, what climate action can we take?

We can continue to take our individual actions...
reduce, ​reuse, recycle, etc.

But we also need to
advocate
for
systemic change.

Millions of people around the world 
joined the Global Climate Strike this week,
calling for this kind of massive CHANGE.

 As Sir David Attenborough says, 
we need to change
Societies,
Economics,
and
POLITICS.

That's a tall order.

It can only be done if we
put aside
political differences
and work
TOGETHER.

Climate change
affects us all,
whether we are
Republicans
or
Democrats.

We
must
take
united
PURPLE
action
NOW.
