Church bells will ring in Calistoga on Saturday, October 24th, from 11:00 a.m. to about noon. Bellringers at Community Presbyterian Church of Calistoga, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and Saint Simeon Russian Orthodox Church will each ring their bells 350 times, to sound the alarm about our need to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. They join churches from across the country who have been sounding the alarm over the past months, expressing their concern about our impact on the environment and the effect it will have on future generations.
October 24th is International Climate Action Day, organized by 350.org, a grassroots organization working to reduce levels of carbon in the atmosphere back to 350 parts per million (ppm), a number at which the earth can sustain a healthy environment.
