Mary Ellen Harte and John Harte: Join the National Teach-in on Global Warming, Feb 4-5!

As the last bits of confetti settle to the earth, the real, much more sober party begins: a convening conversation on one of the most important problems confronting humanity. President Obama has vowed to address climate change, but how we do so will determine our success. And this is where you come in. Beginning February 4th, over 600 groups so far, mostly from academic institutions all over the US, will gather to partake in a truly national conversation on how the US will address global warming. This is not limited to academic groups, though. Want to get your book group, faith group, or local civic group in on the action? This is your conversation, too. On February 4th, the National Teach-in is coordinating video hookups between citizens and their Congressional Senate or House representatives to begin a badly needed conversation on just how their representatives plan to bring down carbon emissions in the US fast. Over 100 Congress people have agreed to participate as of this posting. ... (link)
