First Presbyterian Church Hosts Video and Discussion Series on the Environmental Crisis
Starting on Earth Day, Apr. 22, a series of hour-long videos, called “The Week,” will be offered to the Oak Ridge area community in the fellowship hall of First Presbyterian Church, 1051 Oak Ridge Turnpike, for three evenings at 7:00 p.m. on Apr. 22, 24 and 25.
Participants will spend 30 minutes discussing each video on the causes of and responses to the world’s environmental and climate crisis.
The series explores the collapse of life, pollution that is causing cancer and otherwise harming human health, and the climate crisis. Warming of the climate will likely trigger a rising number of billion-dollar weather-related disasters and increased migration.
According to The Week’s website, “The environment is breaking down and the climate is changing rapidly. The Week is a group experience to help us see what’s coming, and what we can do about it.
“Too often, the environmental crisis feels abstract and overwhelming. The Week is a way to engage this issue, for real, with our friends, family, or colleagues. It doesn’t tell us what to do but empowers us to make up our own minds so that we can say down the line, ‘I knew what I needed to know, I did what I needed to do, and I have no regrets.’”
The community is invited to the free showings and discussions, and light refreshments will be available.
