Around the country and around the globe going green is making a difference. Just within the last few days Melinda Gates of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had a remarkable TED X conference, Bill Clinton’s Global Initiative began with climate change high on the list, solar giant Sharp acquired San Francisco based Recurrent Energy and citizens around the country are preparing for One Nation Working Together in Washington DC and concurrent nationwide events on 10.02.10.
Green for All’s Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins had this to say about the nationwide 10.02.10 event. “Right now, the conversation in Washington centers around one question: should the richest people in America get more tax breaks? That’s what’s being discussed. Not addressing climate change, not putting people back to work. The argument is about more tax breaks for the mega-rich.
What this tells me is that our voices aren’t being listened to. That’s why, tens of thousands of people from across America are bringing their families to Washington to help change the conversation – and to make sure that our voices are heard.
One Nation is a national, grassroots campaign supported by some of our country’s most respected organizations. And it kicks off on October 2, when we march in Washington, D.C. to show the country that we are louder and more powerful working together than we are tearing each other apart.”
