“COALITION NOTES
(5) HOW TO COPE EMOTIONALLY WITH ECOLOGICAL DEVASTATION
Houston Climate Protection Alliance’s meeting on Sunday, June 18, will discuss the emotional toll of dealing with such issues as global warming, pollution, overpopulation, eco-footprinting, and energy supply vs. demand. Nan Hildreth, a co founder of the group, asks, “Have you ever cried, raged, or carried a cold ball of fear in your gut over what you see happening to our biosphere?” She says these feelings are often reasonable, but if they continue too long they are bad for you and can impair your effectiveness as an activist. The meeting will feature Tim Mock and others who will discuss and share ways to improve emotional coping skills. The meeting is from 1 – 3pm at First Unitarian Universalist Church, 5200 Fannin at Southmore, Room 303. For more information, contact Nan Hildreth at (713) 842-6643.”
