Jersey Climate Action to Mark Sandy Anniversary

Jersey Climate Action to Mark Superstorm Sandy Anniversary

As we mark the first anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, learn what you can do to save energy, money and the environment at a public forum on Monday, Oct. 28, at 7:00 p.m.  The free program will be held at the People Care Center, 120 Finderne Ave., Bridgewater, NJ.

The Jersey Climate Action forum occurs just a few weeks after the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest report concluding with virtual certainty that global warming is real and that human activities are "the dominant cause" of global warming and its impacts: extreme weather events, rising ocean temperatures and sea levels and melting polar ice caps.  The Nobel Prize-winning panel is comprised of thousands of scientists and reviewers from more than 100 countries and is recognized as the definitive source on these issues.

Featured speakers at the Jersey Climate Action forum include the following energy and climate experts:

• Jeff Deyette - Union of Concerned Scientists
• Jeanne Fox - Commissioner, NJ Board of Public Utilities
• Ed Schwartz - Sustainability Professional
• Christine Guhl - Sierra Club Field Organizer
• Jack Shapiro - Deputy Climate Campaign Manager for Organizing for Action

The program is sponsored by Organizing for Action and the Sierra Club. For more information and to register to attend, call 908-389-3670 or visit http://ofa.bo/NJClimateAction .
