“The Year to Save the Earth” – A Multimedia Experience Co-hosted by NUUC Music Ministry and Climate Justice Ministry

Mixing powerful songs and beautiful projected images, Jim Scott’s lyrical melodies and outspoken poetry raise up celebration, grieving, protest and positive vision for the planet. As well as hard reality, the program’s message is one of optimism with many invitations to join in the singing. Facing the urgency of the environmental crisis, the musical and visual experience challenges us to feel, to learn and to act.
