Step It Up WORCESTER's Blurbs |
About me:
What: Rally Against Global Climate Change
Bands, Speakers, Info, Food and Fun
When: April 14th, Noon to 4
Where: Elm Park, Worcester
(and hundreds of other cities)
Why: To mobilize the masses and let our voices be heard, with the goal of making Worcester an example of how a city can reduce greenhouse emissions on a local level and to be part of a national movement.
RSVP- Let us know you're coming!
For More Info, or to help (please?) email
worcester-stepitup(at)googlegroups.com
We need help with getting the word out, so talk it up!
It's time for a mobilization effort the likes of which has not been seen since WWII. Changing light bulbs and buying hybrids just isn't enough. But things are looking up. The subject of climate change is becoming a hot topic (no pun intended). It's time to facilitate the growing momentum and to put real pressure on our elected representatives.
We will be gathering in Elm Park on April 14th
TO LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD.
Individually we are weak, but the combined power of the environmentally-aware is a force to be reckoned with, certainly one that cannot go unheard.
Please join us on this national day of climate action. Join with people in over 1100 locations in the U.S., all telling Congress, "Step It Up! Cut carbon 80% by 2050."
Our elected officials aren't the only ones that have to Step It Up, we all do. A major goal of the event is to raise awareness of the National Grid GreenUp program. GreenUp matches each household's electric use and puts it towards a blend of wind, solar, biomass, or low impact hydro power. One of the main objectives of Step It Up Worcester is to get 750 households signed up for GreenUp.
There will also tables for many local non-profits, NGO's businesses and other orgs concerned with sustainability. Earn-A-Bike volunteer bike shop will be offering free valet bike parking and free tune-ups. A few other highlights include d.i.y. shirt stenciling, free bike raffles, greasecars, vegan food and music. Learn about the Artichoke Food Co-op, community gardens and alternative energy.
Polling shows most Americans know there's a problem. But the forces of inertia and business-as-usual are still in control, and only our voices, united and loud, joyful and determined, can change that reality.
“The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place, we are entering a period of consequences.”
(-Winston Churchill)
