National Day of Climate Action Saturday April 14, 2007
Thousands of people across the country are marching on Saturday April 14 to urge solutions for global warming. In Seattle, there will be a march, rally and fair!
Kids, parents and friends! Let's march together to kick off the Earth Day season!! Under banners saying "Cool Kids for a Cool Planet" and "Our Future is in Your Hands," join with hundreds of tots, toddlers and other precious cargo as part of the parade.
On Sunday April 14, meet us at Occidental Park in Pioneer Square for the 2 pm march. Look for us under the Big Blue Globe! Bring costumes, instruments (especially drums!) and placards that express your concern and optimism that we can meet this challenge! Banana will be a Cool Kid!
If you want to help make signs there are a couple of opportunities, please contact me through my
website.
As parents, we need to be thinking of what the world will be like in 20, 30 or 40 years for our kids and theirs. Scientists agree that we need to reduce greenhouse gases by 80% by 2050, when our children are adults. Their future is literally in our hands. For more information about the science of global warming and solutions, check out the Sierra Club's website.
The parade will go to Myrtle Edwards Park - there will be a rally featuring King County Executive Ron Sims, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, KC Golden from Climate Solutions, Rev. Lisa Domke and others. After the speakers, there will be a solutions fair featuring all kinds of ways to save energy, reduce waste and otherwise help reduce global warming.
Get more information and sign up for the
Seattle event!
See you there!
