This broad proposal covers a variety of proposed actions: resource development, creating and sustaining eco-friendly facilities, local peace colloquies, and children and youth stewardship projects. “G-5 Climate Emergency: Fossil Fuel Reduction” Greater Pacific Northwest USA Mission Center Presented by Paul Bethel.
