Step It Up: National Day of Climate Change Action

For anyone interested in getting involved with increasing awareness of issues of climate change, here is an exerpt of a recent email update about upcoming Step It Up events that are planned for Ithaca and across the country:

The plans for the Ithaca activities for National Day of Climate Change Action are developing rapidly, with only about three weeks left until our November 3 events. There will be two events in the Ithaca area:

--Tutelo Park, 12:00 noon
--Arts Quad at Ezra Cornell statue, Cornell Campus, 2:00 pm

If you can help us promote the event by passing this email along to others, please do so. A document is attached to this email which includes a "save the date" notice to use to cut and paste, or print and circulate. Attached also are a map to show the location of Tutelo Park, and a leaflet suitable to post, which has more information. A press release on the national effort we are coordinating with is at: http://www.stepitup2007.org/downloads/9_17%20Press%20Release.pdf


If you would like to volunteer to help, contact Carlos Rymer at CMR55@Cornell.edu (Cornell Campus event) or Krys Cail at KLC32@Cornell.edu (Tutelo Park event). We could use your help!

Even if you can't volunteer, you can help by going on the Step It Up web site and sending an invitation to our federal representatives to join us. The site is configured so that it is very fast and easy to send a message of invitation-- try it! Here is the info (same as from last week's update) on the web site:

Please check out the Step It Up web site at http://www.stepitup2007.org . There you can read about our Nov. 3, noon-3pm Tutelo Park event (http://stepitup2007.org//article.php?id=4710) and also about the other events going on around the country. Also, you can sign up to attend an event, and/or invite our federal elected officials to attend our event via a quick-and-easy web-based interface. We are trying to have as many people as possible invite our Congressmen and Senators to attend, in order to let them know how important this is to us.
