What a healthy new future we can all help create! Happy Earth Month!

Contact Lynn Fanelli or any member of the CAN Team with thoughts or questions. 

CAN will also be tabling at Heritage Park's Earth Day event in Farmington Hills on Monday, April 22 from 4-7pm. If you are looking for some family fun this Earth Day come see us there!

Your Climate Action committee (CAN) would like to invite everyone interested in learning how innovative agriculture can save the earth from our climate crisis to come to a movie on April 21 at 12:30. The movie is “Common Ground”, a compelling story about regenerative farming. It is a rallying cry for revamping the world’s farming systems. It may be the answer to saving the planet from its current and future climate and food crisis. It has already sparked a worldwide cultural and political movement to save the environment and humanity by bringing eco-systems back to life. 

Lunch will be served during the movie. The running time of the movie is 1hour and 30 minutes. This showing is not intended to replace our wonderful Congregational Climate Event planned with all manner of wonderful events on June 2.

Come visit CAN's table at the largest Earth Day Event in Oakland County! Located in and around the Royal Oak Farmer’s Market, this event will kick off with a climate rally and march through downtown Royal Oak at 3pm. The Fair runs until 7pm with vendors, teach-ins with experts and special guest speakers! That same weekend the Zoo is also hosting a GreenFest with early arrivers receiving a 2 gallon bucket of Zoo Poo for their garden!

Did you know that reducing food waste is by far one of the most effective ways individuals can reduce the amount of heat trapping gases they create.*  Great news, each of us can be a part of a major event that reduces food waste and helps feed people right here in Southfield. On April 13, Make Food Not Waste will be holding a community feast at the Southfield Pavilion. The City of Southfield is working to become the first city in the state to eliminate food waste. At past MFNW community feasts, thousands of people sampled dishes made by local chefs from food that would otherwise have gone to waste. An additional 1,000 meals were donated to local shelters at the end of the day. Here is a link to sign-up to help on April 13 Sign Up to Participate. Make Food Not Waste regularly operates an upcycling kitchen in Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church in Detroit where they distribute free meals to the community every single week, using ingredients that would otherwise have gone to waste. Questions? Contact Lynn Fanelli or any member of the Climate Action Now Team.
