10/10/10 Letter Writing Campaign

On Sunday, October 10, members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Monmouth County in Lincroft participated in writing more than 80 letters to climate negotiators, legislators, and regulators demanding action against human-caused global warming and climate change. A specific energy-saving program of carpooling to the Meetinghouse was also initiated. These activities were organized for October 10, 2010 (“10/10/10”) as part of the nationwide appeal by Bill McKibben and website 350.org.

The Sunday service on 10/10/10, celebrating UN Sunday, was based on the theme chosen by the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office, “Ethical Aspects of a Climate Treaty”. Previously the congregation had adopted as policy a strong statement urging action to counter global warming and climate change through individual and collective activities.
