Santa really doing it all this season

December 14, 2021 by Bob Brown

Climate action advocates, including Santa Claus, took to Natick Common at the Rte. 27 and 135 intersection this past Friday to call attention to global warming and encourage use of solar power and other sustainable options.

They hope to inspire the launch of a Natick chapter of Greta Thunberg’s global youth organization, Fridays For Future.

Such a group congregates in front of Wellesley Town Hall, too.

If you’d like to take part, show up this coming Friday, Dec. 17 at the Common from 1:30-2:30pm at the Rte. 27/135 intersection.

2022 times and times will be posted on Facebook at FFF-Natick.

    It’s about time we accept the responsibility for the catastrophic climate and social changes that we face in todays society.
    Moving forward with immediate positive action for the greater good is needed NOW before things worsen. Act like our lives depend on it, because everything is connected and needs more love and respect.
    So glad that you are out there reminding people that our planet is in peril. Thanks for your good work!
