[Oe List ...] McKibben & Life and Death for the Planet

[Janice Ulangca]

Perhaps the most practical question:  Who in your community is concerned about the environment, and needs to hear about 10-10-10?  What organization(s)?  It may be that adding what we know and can do to what partners can do is the way to move things.

  Bill McKibben describes himself as "a mild-mannered guy, a Methodist Sunday School teacher, not quick to anger."  But he's also a guy with passion and urgency that comes from what he talks about as scientist friends calling him in a state of panic about how fast the planet is changing.  Of all the excellent speakers at the Tikkun/Network of Spiritual Progressives conference in Washinton, D.C. this past June, Bill McKibben perhaps electrified the audience most.  Not only because of his warnings, or his humor, but because of the network his 350 organization is building globally.

  Check out 350.org at the links below.  Take a look at some of the pictures on the site - and note how many million hits the site is getting.  You might think about what you can catalyze on 10-10-10 - Oct. 10, 2010 to be part of what Thomas Berry calls "The Great Work".
