The local chapter of environmental advocacy group Citizens’ Climate Lobby will host a family-friendly ‘Kids’ Climate Carnival’ on Saturday November 12 from 9:00-12:00pm. There will be a variety of hands-on creative activities for kids, games with prizes from local merchants, educational displays on climate change solutions, and an opportunity for adults to fill out postcards, that will be hand delivered to our legislators in Washington, asking for action on climate change.

“This event is all about the good things being done to solve climate change. We’ll have fun activities that show kids how they can be a climate hero in our community.  While kids are playing and learning, adults are invited to jot a note to our Senators and Congressperson on postcards which will be personally delivered the following week during Climate Education Day in Washington”, explained Alan Anderson, one of the organizers.

In the weeks leading up to the ‘Kids’ Climate Carnival’ there will be several postcard stations around town, including the library, Northfield Senior Center, and at local churches, where Northfielders can fill out a postcard and drop it in a basket to join the others traveling to DC.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is an international non-profit group with over 300 chapters in the US that focus on passing a revenue-neutral carbon fee with 100% of the net revenue returned directly to households. Independent studies show this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions 52% below 1990 levels within 20 years while creating jobs, growing the economy and saving thousands of lives due to reduced air pollution.
