\"Welcomecafe\"<\/a>
\n Imagine inviting your friends and community to respond to this reality:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average American generates 55,000 pounds of CO2 annually,
\nwhereas typical Swedes emit only about 15,000 pounds of CO2 while
\nmaintaining an equal standard of living. <\/p>\n

The CONVENIENT TRUTH is that YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE with a few changes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate
\nchange is very much a local issue with global reach. The causes of
\nglobal warming come in large part from everyday activities where
\nindividual actions account for almost 50 percent of a community’s
\nemissions. A one-degree rise in average temperature can result in
\nextreme temperature-related disasters.<\/p>\n

The following is an invitation for those in the Bay Area, and for those elsewhere, it is a sample of what you can offer in your community at home or work.<\/p>\n

Join us for an engaging
\nCool World Cafe, a powerful, new social change technology that enables
\nus to experience the spirit of community. Interact with friends and
\nneighbors in frank and open conversation that helps us reflect deeply
\non what global warming means to each of us as individuals and society. <\/p>\n

Learn
\nabout the Low Carbon Diet, which is grounded in over two decades of
\nenvironmental behavior change research. This program offers much more
\nthan a list of eco-friendly actions. It walks you through every step of
\nthe process, from calculating your current CO2 footprint to tracking
\nyour progress. By making simple changes to actions you take every day,
\nyou can learn how to reduce your annual household CO2 output by at
\nleast 15 percent. If youre really dedicated, you can also become carbon
\nneutral.<\/p>\n
