Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 1Sky e-newsletter! We will be bringing you regular updates on the 1Sky campaign and inviting you to join us in tackling the defining challenge of our generation - the climate crisis.
2007 could justly be called "the year of the the climate." Not only did we see the devastating effects of wildfires in California, drought in the southeast, and the melting of sea ice in polar areas around the globe, but we also witnessed an unprecedented groundswell of public support in this country for bold and comprehensive legislation on climate change.
People took to the streets in their communities, got involved on their campuses and made sure that their voices were heard loud and clear in Washington. Just check out this video to see a quick recap of Step It Up and Powershift over the last year, only two parts of this rapidly growing movement behind 1Sky and our proposed solutions.
Take action on December 8. Coming up soon on the event calendar is December 8th -- the International Day of Climate Action, timed to coincide with climate talks of the United Nations in Bali, Indonesia, where world leaders will meet to discuss our post-Kyoto future. Two ways to get involved on that day is to hold an action in your community, or to join the national polar bear plunge.
We're Hiring. Here at 1Sky we're staffing up (see our job postings here) and working hard to keep up with all the interest and ideas flowing into our email box. We've got over 55,000 supporters on our email list (thanks in large part to Step It Up!), but we're aiming high: we need 1 million people to join us in calling on our leaders to support real climate solutions now.
Not on our email list? Sign up here to join the movement!
So when you're relaxing after your thanksgiving feast, reflect not only about what you're thankful for now -- but how thankful your friends, children and grandchildren will be knowing that you took action on climate change before it became a crisis beyond reach.
Stay tuned for a full campaign update next week...
With Thanks,
The 1Sky Team
