Normally, house parties bring to mind shattered glass, stained sofas and unidentified stomach contents regurgitated into houseplants. The mess, destruction and waste combine to create the opposite of environmentalism. This isn’t one of those parties.
Today people all across the country will be holding house parties to end global warming. And as President Obama tries to push new global warming legislation forward–while being met with criticism–the time has never been more ripe for action.
Indeed, it is our past inaction that remains so devastating. While the rest of the world stood in solidarity against global warming and took action to create a safer planet, the U.S. stood idle. Now, with an administration that embraces science and a healthy environment, perhaps we can join in the global movement.
And while watching EPA hearings may not sound like a glitzy, glamorous shindig to attend, it could end up being one of the most important parties you’ve ever attended.
Following the 15-minute hearing video, partygoers will have a chance to participate in a live conference call with “Big Picture” leaders–Sierra Club members who are leading this campaign. After the call, during which leaders will answer questions, people will discuss possible solutions and jot their ideas down to send in for a clean energy plan for the people, by the people.
This campaign is about the “big picture,” say the leaders, because President Obama “sees the big picture” when it comes to the environment.
