EarthFirst.com Threw Down For The Sierra Club and Lightbulbs to Leadership
July 23, 2008 · Print This Article
Last week thousands of people got together in over 300 homes, businesses, and at least one tipi (mine, as seen above) to help the Sierra Club bring awareness to the need for direct action on fighting Global Warming.
We need renewable energy, increased gas mileage standards, and more green industries jobs and the Sierra Club’s Lightbulbs to Leadership campaign used a series of videos to call out the politicians who are increasingly falling behind with the will of the people (that’s us).
We joined those hundreds of party hosts and our friends at Ecorazzi, who had a dinner party in Miami (seen in the photo above), and threw two events- one in Chicago and another here at my house and tipi in Maine. The night started off with a presentation about Global Warming, green jobs, and mileage standards, moved into a conference call with Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope and activist (and EarthFirst.com official Hot Guy in Green) Van Jones and wrapped up when thousands of letters to Governors demanding action on these issues were written and an unknown number of beers and sodas were consumed (and hopefully recycled).

Nicely done Sierra Club.
