Climate Rescue Day - Saturday, March 24, 2007

Walk, Bike, Worship, and Rally to Stop Global Warming

80% Reduction in Global Warming Pollution
by 2050: Starting Now!

It’s time to stop feeling overwhelmed by global warming and start demanding that our leaders lead. Climate change threatens our children, our economy, our national security, biodiversity, and the poorest and most vulnerable of the earth’s people. Reason, conscience, and love of creation demand we act now.

Individuals, businesses, campuses, faith communities, and government must all do our part. On March 24, we will raise our united voices to pledge ourselves and demand 80% reduction of global warming pollution by 2050.
