NEWS 1 - Bill McKibben September 14

The Center for Faith & Scholarship at the University of Michigan will host Bill McKibben at Rackham Auditorium on FRIDAY, September 14 at 4:30pm. The CFS describes Bill as "one of the preeminent environmental voices of our generation and one whose religious faith informs his vision of the world and nature." His presentation is entitled "350: The Most Important Number in the World". "350" references our atmosphere's maximum desirable carbon dioxide level. Bill will discuss the human generated increase in carbon dioxide and the critical need to return to 350. As background, July's level was 394. We haven't seen 350 since October, 1989.  

The official announcement is here at The Center for Faith & Scholarship at the University of Michigan:   http://cfs-aa.org/?page_id=644

Join your fellow parishioners as we build a Sustainability Project here at St. Francis.
