Speaker: Peter Jones, lawyer (retired), chairperson For Our
Grandchildren
Topic:
We Must Act Now on Climate Change – For Our Grandchildren
“I
don’t want my grandchildren to see the earth die.” These poignant words
introduce the video on the home page of For Our Grandchildren (4RG), a web-based
organization whose vision is to connect and empower grandparents and prospective
grandparents who are concerned about the potentially disastrous effects of
climate change, and to enable them to join a movement to counter and prepare for
these effects on behalf of all our children and grandchildren.
4RG
offers opportunities for grandparents to learn, comment and to come together
with others to discuss initiatives such as contacting their decision-makers with
their concerns. The website www.forourgrandchildren.ca features an extensive blog with
insightful posts on all aspects of climate change, videos, a monthly newsletter,
tips on writing letters to the editor, and posters and other documents for use
at events. 4RG is endorsed by honorary members Stephen Lewis, David Suzuki and
Bishop Desmond Tutu. If you are concerned about the impending effects of climate
change and want to help ensure that there is a world for our grandchildren to
inherit, join us for this inspiring and informative presentation and
discussion.
