Mass Power Shift

With all this talk about a live Al Gore Webcast October 29th, now is a good chance to catch up on the climate maverick’s latest antics.

Of course, I could just link you to his website: http://www.algore.com. That might be sufficient.

An inconvenient truth: His groundbreaking documentary has inspired millions of people to care about climate change. When our environmental group hosted a screening last year, it was one of the biggest turnouts we’ve ever had for an event. Official site: http://www.climatecrisis.net/

On July 17, Al Gore challenged America to produce 100 percent of our electricity from non-carbon energy sources – and to do so within 10 years. His speech , and the resulting campaign is changing our understanding of what is possible. View the speech, share, join at link

The We campaign is “a multi‐year, commercial‐scale, mainstream mobilization effort to bring public opinion past the tipping point, compelling our elected leaders to take action on climate change.” They are doing this through a huge advertising campaign, online mobilization, and partnering organizations (MAPS is one). Aside from the personal choices aspect of their campaign, they’ve coordinated huge letter-writing, press stunts, and research towards getting all of our electricity from non-carbon sources in 10 years.

The democratic national convention speech was also wicked good.

NOW, he’s partnering with Power Vote to speak to our generation through the full strength of this campaign. There’s going to be a LIVE WEBCAST to anyone with a laptop and/or projector on Wednesday the 29th. If We are going to RePower America, it’s going to take all of us being a part. Won’t you host an event ?
