Earth Day 2008 Rock Out For Free!

Posted: 18 Apr 2008 07:56 PM CDT

Thats right on Sunday, April 20 Earth Day Network is spearheading one of the largest Earth Day gatherings in U.S. history! As well as concerts they are also having major day-long events on the National Mall in Washington, DC and seven other cities, 1,000 college campuses, and hundreds of community events that are expected to attract hundreds of thousands of participants and rally support for immediate and equitable national action on global warming. The flagship event is free and will feature elected officials and candidates, community speakers, celebrities and major musical acts as well as educational displays and voter registration. Simultaneous free events will be held in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas and Miami. The events are being produced by Green Apple Festival and sponsored by Chase.

The 2008 Earth Day events will include a voter registration component, especially in low income communities. Studies have shown that minority and low income populations are the most impacted by global warming. The solution is a new energy future based on renewable sources that will mean less greenhouse gasses, spur jobs and stimulate the economy.

"We will be creating surround-sound on the issue of global warming," said Rogers. "Our leaders will hear from us on the National Mall, in the halls of Congress and in the news media. We will be making a lot of noise this Earth Day."

All the activities are being coordinated by Earth Day Network, the nonprofit organization that mobilizes 17,000 organizations worldwide and 5,000 organizations in the U.S. Earth Day Network was founded by the organizers of the original Earth Day in 1970.

"This Earth Day, it's time to change the forecast for global warming," said Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network. "Climate change must rise to the top of the national agenda this election year. On April 20th, Americans will be hearing our global warming message and we will be mobilizing support for solutions."

Hey everyone,

Thanks for being so patient! We had some real troubles with our hosting server. We wanted to see if they could be resolved but things were moving too slow so we gave them the boot and have switched to a new hosting company! In the next day or so we hope to start posting again great ways for you urban dwellers to be green and save a little green at the same time.

thanks again for being so patient!
