13 POETS & A CHEMIST READING
for carbon reduction
in conjunction with
International Day of Climate Action
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 12-3 pm
Bangor Public Library
145 Harlow Street, Bangor
Maine
The world has only a very narrow window of opportunity to undertake a dramatic shift towards a low-carbon society and prevent the worst scenarios of scientists from coming true. In anticipation of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen this December, an International Day of Climate Action has been spearheaded by 350.org, the brainchild of environmental writer Bill McKibben. More than a number, 350 signifies the safe upper limit of CO2 in our atmosphere.
Join an impressive gathering of Maine poets for readings that reflect their concerns for the environment. The afternoon will be hosted by Kathleen Ellis & will include live jazz, a closing reception, & book sales & signings.
