Philadelphia Yearly Meeting threshing session on climate change witness, 10/29/2024

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends (Quakers) will hold an online threshing session on climate witness on 10/29, 7-8:15 pm.

This is Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s proposed climate benchmark:

  1. Measure carbon footprint of YM operations, gatherings, and facilities
  2. Identify how YM could be carbon net zero by 2030
  3. Invite monthly meetings to strive for 50% carbon reduction for members & meetings by 2030

Friends are invited to this threshing session to consider the benchmark prior to fall Continuing Sessions on 11/8/2024. Read more about it.

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting is one of the equity partners of Friends Center. As such, Friends Center’s LEED Platinum green building is already helping advance the benchmark.

The session will be held via Zoom. Please register here to get the link.

Text gives title of the threshing session on climate change witness on October 29, 2024. There is an image of a hand holding the earth. On the left side, the earth is yellow, smoky, and sulfurous. On the right side, the earth is thriving, with green grass and trees, a blue pond, white clouds, and a flock of geese flying by overhead.
