Bill McKibben, author of "The End Of Nature", has initiated a Nationwide Day of Action on Global Warming: "Step it up 2007", www.Stepitup07.org. On April 14th, all across the country, Americans will be gathering at iconic, meaningful places to demand: "Step it up, Congress! Cut Carbon Emissions 80% by the year 2050." 

Those of you who live near the Bay Area are invited to join us on Saturday, April 14th, for an educational, family friendly event at the beautiful Audubon Center and Sanctuary on Richardson Bay in Tiburon.

There will be three main speakers, brief contributions by children, a display of fuel-efficient cars, including a plug-in hybrid. Children and adults will fill a clothes-line with pledges indicating which choices we will make to cut our individual Co2 emissions. A display of maps will show the melting Arctic and the projected sea level rise around San Francisco Bay. At 4:30 pm, we will walk to Blackie's Pasture to stage the rising sea level.  
 
Speakers:
Richard Heinberg, www.RichardHeinberg.com, will deliver the keynote address: "Twilight of the Fossil Fuels Era. A Greenprint for the 21st Century". Ken Smokoska, Sierra Club California Director of Clean Energy Initiatives, will speak about "Solutions to Global Warming". Betsy Rosenberg, host of "EcoTalk" on Air America Radio, www.AirAmericaRadio.com/ecotalk , will look at the cars we drive, and why mothers and others ought to make environmentally responsible choices to protect our children's future.  
 
This event is organized by Don't Be Fueled! in cooperation with Audubon California, Marin Audubon Society and the Environmental Education Council of Marin. It is supported by the Sierra Club Marin Group, the Environmental Forum of Marin and the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin.
