Earthweek Webinar: “Why We Fight”
I’ll also introduce our plans for C2C/EARTHweek, a unique chance to engage your students in high-level dialogue with US senators and members of Congress.
With your help, during Earthweek 2011 C2C will host over a hundred video-dialogues between Campus and Congress on clean energy, climate and jobs. If you want to invite your representative or senator to talk with your campus—virtually— we will move heaven and earth to get him or her engaged for a skype dialogue.
That’s it! Once the call is scheduled, next April you gather your students or friends in a room, and be ready for some serious, web-enabled conversation about global warming solutions, EPA action, incentives for clean energy, and the potential for green jobs. And know that a hundred other schools are doing the same. We need your help making C2C/EARTHweek the thing to do on campus: once we get 100 schools sending invitations, we’ll get 1000.
If you want to help us lead the way and invite your member of Congress for a skype, sign up at http://www.bard.edu/cep/c2c/earthweek/.
Thanks for the work you are doing.
