Blog Action Day: Climate Change



In the spirit of Blog Action Day, I'm joining with thousands of other bloggers to raise awareness about climate change.  If you're looking for a Little Rock angle here, mark your calendars for October 24, the International Day of Climate Action.  Audubon Arkansas, together with the Sierra Club, 1 Sky and Village Commons, will host the Little Rock 350 Climate Action Rally and Concert, featuring local musicians and speakers.  Rep. Kathy Webb will be the keynote speaker.  Want to know what else you can do?  Nao, over at GreenAR by the Day, has more info, including a list of 5 easy things you can do to support the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act introduced by Sens. Boxer and Kerry.  Lincoln and Pryor are, as you might imagine, on the fence.  Groups from Arkansas are lobbying on behalf of the legislation, including Arkansas Business Leaders for a Cleaner Energy Economy.  Visit their website here.
