[Dialogue] Climate Concern #2

[Nancy Trask]

Bless you for saying these important words, and showing us some practical ways we can demonstrate a difference.  As an Iowan, I will get onto Fallon's web-site & I imagine some ways that public libraries can get involved across the nation (giving them access to email, etc.)

Y'all (spent just enough time in Pace, MS to get it!)

CLIMATE CHANGE—2nd Project
I’ve found
myself in despair about the way our US ‘consume-and-throw-away-society’ is
influencing the entire world and the trend it has established and maintained
and perpetuated in changing the climate. 
 
I anticipate
that the end result is Global Suicide! I think that our grandchildren’s future
is in jeopardy, and suspect that our great-grandchildren will have a planet
that is uninhabitable.
 
Some things
that I am currently doing to counter the trend:
--using the
lawn for garden vegetables
--collecting
solar electricity for house use
--riding my
bicycle for all in-town trips
--re-cycling
paper, cardboard, plastic and aluminum
 
But more
needs to be done. I have at least 2 projects In mind.
 
#2 The MARCH
 
Friends of
mine in Iowa are organizing something big and important. On March 1, 2014,
1,000 climate patriots will set-out from the west coast, walking across America
to Washington, DC, inspiring and motivating the general public and elected
officials to act now to address the climate crisis. This will be the largest
coast-to-coast march in American history.
 
The idea was
initiated by my friend, Ed Fallon, a former Iowa lawmaker who also ran for
Governor and US Congress. He now hosts a talk show--Fallon Forum website. Ed and his Team of people working on the March need as much
help as possible using the grassroots and social media across the country to
let people know of this opportunity.
 I would be
willing to ask Ed to add your email address to a once-week email update the
March organizers send out? Or you can get in touch with the project through the
website. If you'd like to check out the March website, here's the link: http://climatemarch.org/.
