Most of the news about climate change is bad.
On Saturday, there’s an opportunity to do something good.
Step It Up—a project spearheaded by The End of Nature author Bill McKibben—is holding more than 1,300 events in all 50 states on Saturday, April 14. The goal is to hold the largest global-warming action in US history and push elected officials to commit to an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050.
I don’t often recommend rallies—too often, they’re ineffectual groups of activists preaching to the choir—but this is one event you should attend. Our leaders are listening. Be heard.
(Not convinced? More info here .)
I will show up afterwards to take pictures of the garbage that everyone will leave behind in an effort to save the planet. Seriously, I am going to take some pictures.
And I think I will take pictures of all the SUV's that will be parked at the event.
i'm (even) organizing a rally in fargo. :-)

Where were the younger speakers?
What was behind the plan of cut back carbon by 80% by 2050?

I will be there, at least at 4 pm at Myrtle Edwards Park, even if I'm not joining in the 2 pm rally at Red Square at the UW - interesting that they have a Climate Solutions fair from 4-6, should be good.
Time for doing is now.
Oh, if you're on Facebook, join the Sanjaya group my friend set up!
