Sunday, March 22, 11:00am-12:15pm: Community in times of crisis. Zoom meeting link: https://zoom.us/j/480320688. Meeting Host: Catherine Fountain. Join us at the time of our regular Sunday service for fellowship and conversation. This online meeting will not look like a typical Sunday service, but we will light a chalice, share readings and joys and concerns, and then have a discussion around the topic of community and solidarity in times of crisis. We welcome participants to share thoughts and readings around the theme of community during this Zoom-based meeting. If you'd like to share a specific reading please contact Catherine at [email protected] beforehand; this will help with planning for time. You can find instructions for downloading and using Zoom (which is free for those who join a meeting) here: https://foothillsuu.org/resource/zoom-resources/ .  Here is a frequently asked question page about Zoom from the Manhatten UU. The description and link for the March 29 service will be uploaded here next week.

TOPIC: "When is Enough, ENOUGH? Wants vs. Needs"
 
"To live content with small means; 
To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; 
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with an open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry, never.
To let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, 
This is to be my symphony. "   by William Henry Channing.
 
ASSIGNMENT:
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions.
​
The average carbon footprint for a person in the United States is 16 tons, one of the highest rates in the world. Globally, the average is closer to 4 tons. To have the best chance of avoiding a 2℃ rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop under 2 tons by 2050.
Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn’t happen overnight! By making small changes to our actions, like eating less meat, taking less connecting flights and line drying our clothes, we can start making a big difference.
