Mothers and children aren't taking no for an answer when it comes to federal action on climate change. Only hours after the recent Lieberman-Warner climate legislation fizzled in the Senate, the new 1Sky campaign (www.1sky.org) delivered over one hundred murals to Congress that were created by grandparents, teachers, parents and children urging Congress to transcend politics as usual and get moving on climate policy.
Here's a recent video that captures the delivery of these heartfelt and artistic messages -- as well as pictures of the beautiful murals that children and families made:
Pundits wonder how much it might cost to fix things and whether pivoting to a green economy might hurt a few companies that line powerful pockets. And meanwhile, Greenland melts.
We lose up to 30 species a day. Droughts dominate in Atlanta and Australia while floods are hitting families from Wisconsin to China. We're running out of time here. There are kids today who will be alive in the year 2100, when temperatures may rise by as much as 11 degrees F.
The kids are begging for action. For their sake, join me in getting involved.
