Produced in NJ just outside New York City the show gives an East Coast flavor to implementing more balanced choices. Hosts Greg and Connie, "newlygreens" and not so newlywed, try take the stories to heart and and bring practical change into their own lives. It may not be about being the ideal, but it is definitely about finding inspiration and working toward something better.

Our guest today is a leader in the world of faith-based responses to climate change. He has logged many miles traveling the world educating people about the realities of climate change and campaigning for personal involvement. He is the Director of the Interfaith Declaration on Climate Change and a fellow presenter with the Climate Project, welcome to Newlygreens on the Morning Blend, Stuart Scott. More about his work can be found on the site for the Interfaith Declaration on Climate Change In this interview Stuart gives us an inside look at the Copenhagen conference. A more personal report than that of the main stream media. He has been impressed by the statements of the leaders from low-lying countries like Tuvalu and the Malidives who will be the first to feel the effects of rising sea level. "We live in constant fear of the adverse impacts of climate change. For a coral atoll nation, sea level rise and more severe weather events loom as a growing threat to our entire population. The threat is real and serious, and is of no difference to a slow and insidious form of terrorism against us." -Saufatu Sopoanga, Prime Minister of Tuvalu, at the 58th Session of the United Nations General Assembly New York, 24th September 2003 Tuvalu is one of the places on earth that is most vulnerable to the affects of global warming. The threat of sea level rise may bring complete disaster to the 10,000 Tuvaluans residing on nine extremely low-lying coral atolls. For the first time ever, leading international scientists have drawn up a report on the status of the parts of the world covered by snow and ice. The conclusion is that they are disappearing faster than anticipated. The report was presented in Copenhagen by former US vice president Al Gore. See the comments by Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs and chairman of the Arctic Council, Per Stig Møller and by Kuupik Kleist, prime minister of Greenland. Mr. Gore said, "I wish that I had the words to transfer directly from my heart to yours the passion that I feel for this issue. For me, it raises a fundamental question: Who are we as human beings? Who are we? If at some future date, the next generation faces the prospect of living in a world with steadily deteriorating prospects and no chance to reclaim the glories of this beautiful earth that we have enjoyed — if they look back at Copenhagen and ask, "Why didn't you act? Why did you let this process fall into paralysis, and neither succeed or fail but become a symbol of futility? What were the arguments were again? You didn't realize that we were at stake?" Watch a clip of Mr. Gore's speech here: Stuart is now coordinating a high profile web conference with renown leaders from around the world for Sunday April 18th, 2009.  If you would like to be more involved you can reach him through Twitter his user name is "StuartGaia" Kaizen Productions LLC clean 19:46 http://newlygreens.com/blog/hundreds-attend-global-warming-protest/ http://newlygreens.com/blog/hundreds-attend-global-warming-protest/#comments Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:33:56 +0000 mattisong http://newlygreens.com/?p=2028 http://newlygreens.com/blog/hundreds-attend-global-warming-protest/feed/ 0 http://newlygreens.com/podcasts/katie-scheidt-candlelight-vigil-dec-11th/ http://newlygreens.com/podcasts/katie-scheidt-candlelight-vigil-dec-11th/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:15:11 +0000 mattisong http://newlygreens.com/?p=1994 http://newlygreens.com/podcasts/katie-scheidt-candlelight-vigil-dec-11th/feed/ 0 350.org,Asbury Park,Candlelight Vigil,Copenhagen,Katie Scheidt,nj,tcktcktck.org,TCP Our guest today is volunteer for The Climate Project and lifelong resident of NJ.

Also, Our guest today is volunteer for The Climate Project and lifelong resident of NJ. She is working to arrange a vigil this Friday Dec 11 to draw attention to the climate negotiations in Copenhagen  that began this past Monday. Also, candlelight vigils are being planned on Dec. 11 and 12 with the help of 350.org for solidarity re: Copenhagen.  You can get more information at 350.org I encourage you all to plan a vigil or if you can, attend the one I'm organizing in Asbury Park on Friday, December 11th from 6-7 PM on the Boardwalk at 5th and Ocean Avenues.  Below is the message I'm sending out if you want to share it with anyone or use part of it for your own action. Another Vigil  is planned in our area at Bloomfield Post Office December 12th The Essex Greens will be holding a vigil from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, December 12th, in front of the main Bloomfield Post Office at the corner of Bloomfield Avenue and Montgomery St. December 11th and 12th are worldwide days of action taking place during the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. 192 nations are meeting there from Dec. 7-Dec. 18 to try to come to an agreement on a new treaty to take stronger action to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are dangerously heating up the atmosphere. Thousands of actions around the world will be happening on December  11th and 12th, coordinated by several international networks. More information can be found at Tick Tick Tick _____________________________________________ Katie's letter to Friends, Neighbors, and Family, People and places I love are in danger. There is a threat looming, climate change, and there are places all around the world that are already experiencing the effects. But we have an opportunity! It is time for the United States to take a leadership role in Copenhagen at the UN negotiations this December. I hope that the country with the most responsibility, and with the most capability to lead the world, will reverse direction and be a leader, rather than an obstacle, to international action on climate change. We need clean and secure energy for our future. Please join me to gather peacefully in a candlelight vigil on the Boardwalk at 5th and Ocean Avenues in Asbury Park from 6-7 PM on Friday, December 11th. Together we will express our concern of the threat of climate change. Bring candles, LED lights or flashlights, menorahs, or whatever you can find, to show your support.  Please forward this to whomever you think may be interested in attending.  You can get more information at Facebook These vigils are part of a weekend of climate action organized with 350.org and TckTckTck.org -- a moment for people all over the world to gather at iconic locations in their communities, and light candles of hope to stand in solidarity with the citizens of the nations whose very survival is threatened by the climate crisis. Thousands of these actions are planned worldwide. We will support the call for commitments by the developed world to cut emissions enough to reduce the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases. Come participate on the evening of December 11th or organize your own vigil. Tell us what is concerning you about climate change. Play music, read poetry, read letters to politicians! The speech made by President Mohammed Nasheed of the Maldives at the Climate Vulnerable Forum will be read aloud. Spread the word to your friends, neighbors, coworkers, and family to come be a part of this vigil. If you can, walk or bike to the Asbury Boardwalk, and take action to send a message to our leadership and the rest of the world. We can solve the climate crisis, and we need to do it now. Thank you!
