Since the 1980's we have witnessed the escalating environmental crisis. Each time our interest piques it is a new issue: deforestation, species extinction, the hole in the ozone layer, toxics and their impact on health. Now it seems climate change has again turned our consciousness to green. I would argue it is not a passing fad, but an escalating crisis that each of us can't afford to not address in practical ways through our meetings. Our purpose should be to never hear of the next crisis because we are all busy addressing it.Shawna McKinleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07650797212854783701noreply@blogger.com
