I thought I'd share a couple of events that are coming up this month that I read about. Is anyone planning on attending/participating in anything this month? Anyone planning anything special for Earth Day?

National Day of Climate Action--April 14th, 2007
On this day, there will be hundreds and hundreds of rallies all across the country. People will hike, bike, climb, walk, swim, kayak, canoe, or simply sit or stand with banners with a call to action: "Step it up, Congress! Cut Carbon 80% by 2050."
There are already 1179 events planned in 50 states across the country! To find an action near you:
