Science-Based Climate Change Treaty in Copenhagen
Fri, Dec 11, 5:00-6:15 pm, Greenfield Town Common
GREENFIELD, MA – A candle light vigil will be held at the Greenfield Town Common on Friday December 11th at 5:00 pm to show support for an equitable and sustainable climate future and the urgency to act now. The vigil, known as the “Vigil for Survival” organized worldwide by 350.org, coincides with the Copenhagen Climate Summit and urges our leaders to craft an ambitious treaty that will reduce climate change emissions to levels that will ensure a sustainable future. Everyone is invited to join for a few minutes to an hour or more, or show support however they can.
“This vigil is a chance to keep our community momentum moving forward in our push for sustainability. A clean energy economy can create jobs for our area and ensure a more safe, healthy, and equal future for us and our children,” says Samuel King, a Greenfield Community College student and co-organizer of the vigil. “Our situation is clear. Climate change is happening, and we as a community can be at the forefront of solutions if we come together.”
