fusclimate Mailing List: Citizens Climate Lobby monthly meetings

[Scott Jackson (sjackzen46]

Here's a last minute reminder of the next Citizens Climate Lobby monthly
meeting tomorrow morning at 10:45 am at various Twin Cities locations.
Catherine Jordan, Cecelia Newton, and I from CCC/EcoMinds attended portions
of the CCL regional conference last Saturday along with a large and
enthusiastic group of other climate activists, so I expect that enthusiasm
to spill over to tomorrow's meetings.

I read 'The Righteous Mind' last summer, and I've been recommending it to
family and friends since. I encourage you to read the book as well to
assist in engaging in climate conversations with a range of folks from a
variety of political persuasions. Although I'll be discussing the book on
Tuesday at a class I'm taking at the University of Minnesota and wouldn't
ordinarily bus to Linden Hills to hear Haidt, if there are others who are
interested in attending that meeting and let me know, I'd be happy to show
up as well. In that case, perhaps we could gather somewhere nearby for
further discussion afterwards, including considering if we think it would
benefit CCC/EcoMinds folks to read and discuss the book together.

Onward and upward.
