Capitol Climate Action

Friday, February 20th, 2009

I recieved an email today from StopGlobalWarming.org that contained a small article about a protest being conducted on March 2nd in Washington D. C. to halt climate change.CapitolClimateAction.org holds more information and here is their video.

Capitol Climate Action has a quote on their homepage by Al Gore talking about youth and climate change:

“I can’t understand why there aren’t rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.” – Al Gore

I believe that this quote is very true, that the youth of this world should block our out-of-date habits that we continue to wear on our sleeve. Older people aren’t affected as much by this since they will die within a shorter amount of time than us younger people. We will get older and have children, and our children will have children, and we want them to have cleaner, better lives. We have more to fight for. We should be out there blocking bulldozers, we should be out there evangelizing our cause. Why not? I see no others more fit to do so.

And, for legal and safety reasons, we encourage your participation at your own risk. We do encourage the idea profusely, though.
