Looking for something to do this weekend? It should be nice, if you aren’t walking in the woods or at your kid’s soccer game, you should check this out at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center.

The Philadelphia Water Department invites you to join us for the 2008 Philadelphia Earth Charter Summit, being held at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center on Saturday, October 11, 2008 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. More than 30 cities from around the world will be attending free, public summits to discuss global climate change and exploring how we can work together to address its effects on the local level.

Philadelphia will be linked via web connection with the other participating cities enabling Summit attendees to see and hear each other and feel this powerful grassroots movement. In addition, the 2008 Philadelphia Summit will feature a panel of regional leaders who are developing and implementing creative and innovative approaches to address climate change in our part of the world.

There is no charge to attend the Summit, however, space is limited so registrations will be taken on a first-come first-served basis. Please plan to bring a bagged lunch. Complimentary beverages will be available throughout the day. To register, please call 215-685-0719.

Once you have registered, a detailed agenda for the 2008 Philadelphia Earth Charter Summit will be provided.
