April 14th, National Climate Awareness Day
This April 14th has been declared National Climate Awareness Day. People around the nation will gather for a variety of events to demand that Congress..."Cut Carbon emissions 80% by 2050." There are interesting events all over the country, to find one near you visit: http://www.stepitup2007.org/ and punch in your zip code. One particularly interesting event will take place in New York City's Battery Park, where protesters will line up to create a "sea of people." The rally begins at noon in Battery Park, then protesters, dressed in blue, will join hands as they spread out along Manhattan's east and west sides to create a visual representation of what Manhattan will look like under the 10-foot sea level rise scenario. For more on this event visit, www.seaofpeople.org. There are also several other events in New York City which you will find at the step it up website.
