C5 — Corozal Coalition to Combat Climate Change

Candlelight Vigil, Saturday, 12 December!

We are forming a coalition of organizations and individuals in the Corozal District of Belize to support efforts to reverse the trend toward climate change.

It is unfortunate that the term "Global Warming" has stuck. Although the overall concern is a gradual increase in global average temperatures, the nature of global weather is that some localities will be warmer, some cooler, some drier, and some wetter in any given month or year. So we prefer "Climate Change".

We will post here as we develop this coalition. Our next event is a short and symbolic Candlelight Vigil to be held in Central Park in Corozal Town, Saturday, 12 December 2009, about 7:00 pm. We will be in the southwest corner of the park, catty-corner to Sans Store, who will have candles for sale if you don't have one. Come out, and bring a candle if you have one. It is to support the COP15 conference in Copenhagen, going on now.

Current information about the conference can be found here.
