They are the "MOVERS" who have been drawn to the URI by their ideals and the largeness of their vision, who have subsequently inspired the creation of their own CCs (and other CCs), and who continue to provide URI leadership in one way or another in their respective locales. In their hearts, minds, and ways of being with one another they hold the life, vitality and hope of URI in our midst. 

In the spirit of gratitude, joy, and love, we humbly attempt to recognize and honor them, the MOVERS of URI in Southeast Asia-Pacific-by presenting each one of them to you (one person a week) with a brief write-up on their invaluable contributions to the URI in our region.

With less than 5% of the world’s population, the United States produces more than 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions, and those emissions continue to grow.  One of URI’s North America Cooperation Circles, The Orange County Interfaith Coalition for the Environment (OCICE), believes that US cities can, and should act to reduce green house gas emissions.  The organization is deeply concerned about the effects of Global Warming and what each individual can do to help solve the global climate crisis.
