A reminder that you’re invited to our General Meeting on Zoom beginning at 6 PM this evening.
We hope you can join us. Among other things we’ll hear from Dan Chandler about the serious climate impacts of commercial refrigerants — some have more than 10,000 times the global warming potential of CO2 — and how we can retire them in favor of “natural refrigerants.” A complete agenda is below.
Here’s the Zoom link to tonight’s meeting:

Agenda: 350 Humboldt December 17, 2020 General Meeting
Facilitator: Pat Carr Notes: Dan Chandler
a. Check in: Briefly tell us what’s on your mind, or share a look back at our meetings together, your life in the pandemic, or thoughts on the climate crisis.
b. Poem – Selected and read by Katy Gurin (You can read your favorite poem, just let the steering committee know at: [email protected])
c. Hayley Connors-Keith talks about our six month exploration of acknowledgments that Humboldt County was home to a variety of indigenous groups, many whose descendants still live here.
Part of what a land acknowledgment means is that we support indigenous people in their fight against a changing climate. Tonight we want to support the Anishinaabe peoples who are resisting the Line 3 pipeline that is designed to carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to Superior, Wisconsin. We can all add our names to a 350.org petition calling on President Biden to halt Line 3 construction immediately: Click here to sign
