At 3pm today (Sunday 13 December) the Church bells rang out- not with a sound of warning but to offer hope that the world can tackle climate change.
An intiative of the Alliance of Religions and the World Combined Churches, the religious orders have joined political leaders and activists to send an important message of 350 parts per million as a peak amount for carbon pollution.
Churches across the world rang their bells 350 times, locally churches in Kiama participated in the event.
In a show of solidarity those who attended Rasberry Day at Foxground also put down their plates and cups and joined in to make as much noise as possible on this important issue.
A passionate speach from Howard highlighted to the gathering that in some respects we are ushering in the decade of cooperation, as humans had no choice but to listen to their neighbours and find ways of working together to make global change.
Let me know of any events that happened around your town today at 3pm- did you hear the Church Bells ring and wonder why!
