Climate Leader Carol Stedman will speak on her experience as a climate activist at the Springfield Unitarian Universalist Meetinghouse on Sunday, January 27, at 10 am.
Carol Stedman is a local Vermont Farmer, and a Climate Reality Leader. She runs Clay Hill Corners Blueberry Farm with her husband in Hartland VT. She is a Mother, Grandmother, Wife, Daughter, Caretaker, Sister, Friend, Farmer, Political Activist. She says:
"It is difficult to make sense of our current toxic politics and the frightening warming of our planet. My anger and despair after the 2016 election was profound. Doing nothing felt like a slow miserable decline into darkness. However, on the day of the 2017 Woman's March, I felt the first glimmer of hope after my dismay over the election results. Participating in that positive action led me to the decision to take at least one positive political action per day for 100 days. One action led to another and after many letters, phone calls, marches, gatherings, weeks, months and years, I decided that my next positive action was to go to Al Gore's Climate Reality Leadership Training in October of 2017. from Hartland VT What i learned there has given me focus and tools to bring Climate Awareness to my Vermont community and have Climate Conversations that inspire Climate Action. My Climate journey has been constant throughout the dramas, illnesses and personal family crisis that the past year has brought. I would like to share my climate journey which is also a spiritual journey with you."
Held at the UU Meetinghouse at 21 Fairground Road, Springfield, VT. All welcome!
