A Family Environmental Concert, “A Vision for the Planet,” is planned for this Saturday night at Carbondale Unitarian Fellowship at 7pm. Hear powerful songs from artist Jim Scott while beautiful projected images combine to cultivate a positive vision for the planet. The message is one of optimism and the need for action now. Facing the urgency of the environmental crisis, the songs challenge us to feel, to learn and to act.
Putting ourselves in harmony and singing together opens hearts and inspires community, commitment, and action.
We hope “A Vision for the Planet” will provoke thought, further discussion and move participants to take the vision home. Children under 12 are free.
