Turning The Tide: Who Builds Gloucester’s Future? Oct. 13
The North Shore Labor Council and the Salem Alliance for the Environment are proud to host the next event in our series on energy justice and offshore wind. “Turning the Tides: Who Builds Gloucester’s Energy Future?” will be held Tuesday October 13th starting at 6:30PM at the Sawyer Free Library in Gloucester. Join us for an interactive discussion exploring how green energy can be a pathway for strong union jobs, vibrant communities, and a clean environment. Amidst skyrocketing energy prices, especially with the steep cost of oil and gas, it’s important we discuss options for our communities to remain energy independent while still maintaining a healthy economy.
We’ll be joined by local union members, environmental activists, and community leaders to present on all these topics and more. Dinner will be provided, as well as Spanish interpretation. We ask that you register in advance, but the event is free and everyone is welcome to join!
Keeling Curve Graph that represents the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere since 1958
Why this graph is important:
We have passed the maximum safe concentration level of carbon dioxide (350 parts per million) in the atmosphere. To avoid runaway climate destabilization and return to 350 parts per million we need to immediately stop all use of fossil fuels, and protect our natural systems that store carbon dioxide (forests, marshes, wetlands, seagrass beds, etc…) Technology capable of removing enough excess carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere has not been developed. If you click on this graph it will give you a reading of the latest CO2 measurement in the atmosphere.
