A Greener Eph: Thursday Night Group tonight

Come to the first gathering of Thursday Night Group in Dodd living room at 10:00. Arrive early and meet people. Traditional beverages will be served. We will be introducing the group, discussing pressing issues and setting our major campaigns for the year.

We've all heard of global warming, and we've heard a lot of leaders talk about solutions, but the real solutions are going to come from people like you and me. TNG makes significant changes in the college, the community and beyond that protect and improve the way of life for those already suffering from the climate crisis, and for all those yet to come.

We want to get to know you, to hear your ideas and opinions and your vision of a better world. Some of you are very knowledgeable about the climate, and we can all learn from you. Others are very new to this, and we will help you learn.

An unstable climate will affect the poor and disadvantaged more than the rich and privileged, and so we have a duty to act. The solutions will require people from all walks of life, and so we have a duty to include everyone in what we do. Solving this problem requires economics, biology, engineering, social sciences, psychology and faith.

In 1962, Students for a Democratic society wrote in their manifest: "We are people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit..." That call to action is returning.

I'll see you in Dodd.
