A New Year's Request for Feedback
E-Book PDF: Download (1.5MB)
Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year. Sorry, no Podcasts this month. We’ll be back in Feb.
We’re taking some time off from the show for the holidays but the work goes on…
Being environmentally conscious, active members of the green community, I am writing to ask for your feedback from the streets, and for your input.
While we did not end 2009 with the decisive treaty we were all hoping for from Copenhagen, if nothing else we should draw motivation from the failure, approaching 2010 with greater vigor in crafting new strategies and tactics that inspire a more carbon neutral culture. To this ends…
This Sunday 1/10/10 Connie and I will be attending the Northeast Regional Roundtable for The Climate Project in NYC. We will be meeting with the directors of TCP to discuss the direction of the organization and how we can be of the most service in 2010 and beyond. I’m asking for your feedback so that we can make good use of this opportunity to refine the organization’s strategy.
TCP has been an informational organization coordinating lectures on the realities of Climate Change and the underlying science. To date more than 5 million people have seen our lectures, the question is, is this enough? Since we are not yet living sustainably, I’d argue no, it is not enough.
Please consider the following questions. 
Hundreds Attend Global Warming Protest
It’s a re-post from last winter but in light of the developing nations walking out of the Copenhagen talks today it seemed appropriate.
Let’s get back to the table and iron out some legally binding commitments for carbon reduction!
What would you say to the Pope?
These are challenging times to be sure but I have some news I think speaks to what is possible if we commit to sincere action.
As time is short I will open with a humble request that requires your action by Tuesday Nov. 24th. Please send a letter of support addressed to Pope Benedict using this form (http://bit.ly/popetocopenhagen) expressing the desire for the Pope to enter the discussion of responding to Climate Change.
Below is an explanation of what is going on.
Our friend (and past guest), Stuart Scott has an audience with the the Pope, Pope Benedict, this Wednesday Nov.25th where he will be encouraging his eminence to take a firm position on Climate Change by asking him to attend the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen Denmark in December. This is where world leaders are meeting to determine the course of our response to climate change over the next decade. Stuart’s journey began about a month ago when he felt a calling to ask the Pope to get involved in solving climate change. He had the vision to get on a plane to Italy and undertake a 209km pilgrimage from Assisi to the Vatican figuring the namesake of St. Francis of Assisi would be an appropriate place to start his quest (St Francis is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment). He left with nothing but good intentions, no commitments, no guarantees. After negotiating through a half dozen gate-keepers, this Wednesday Stuart will personally hand deliver an invitation from UN Climate Secretary Yvo de Boer,as well as the the email responses he gets from us, directly to the Pope as part of the audience he has been granted. This is no joke. If you have something you would like to say to the Pope, now is your chance. Thank you for your time.
If you want to know more about Stuart’s work we will have him on the radio show talking about his work with the Interdenominational Climate Commitment in December. Also look for our interview with his compatriot in the IDCC, Rob Kinslow in two weeks.
Oct. 24th :: 350.org – Bloomfield, NJ
This Saturday I took our son to Bloomfield College where the student Green Hearts Environmental Movement was hosting a 350.org event. Despite the rain, over 110 people came out to march and take pictures. It was really encouraging to see such a diverse crowd of activists, adamant about committed action on climate change. Seen here is club president and host Michael Palmieri. Also in attendance were members of the Essex Green Party, Sierra Club NJ Chapter, and The Climate Project.
