Change the climate on Saturday

Preaching to the choir may be better than not preaching at all -- and it's a start. On Saturday, the National Day of Climate Action as Step It Up 2 calls it, rallies will let people in Seattle, Portland, and elsewhere across the country urge their federal representatives to do something serious about global climate change. It's a new-media-savvy, grass-roots project strongly endorsed, naturally, by Al Gore. It promotes rallies and other small events to which people are inviting their own senators and representatives, plus all the Presidential candidates. (Representative Jay Inslee, King County Executive Ron Sims, and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels were featured speakers at Seattle's first Step It Up rally on April 14.) Step It Up was the inspiration of writer Bill McKibben.) You can get specifics at their website
