Take Action on Global Warming and the ICC
Join us for rallies in Annapolis and Arlington this Saturday

Please join us on Saturday for two global warming rallies, part of the National Day of Action. We are co-sponsoring these events in Arlington and Annapolis with the Sierra Club and Audubon Naturalist Society, two of our coalition members. Details are below.

Speaking out for smart growth and transit-oriented development in the Washington, DC, region has never been so important. The Chesapeake Bay region will be particularly affected by rising sea levels and changing weather patterns.  The good news is that we each can take action from changing light-bulbs and increasing the energy efficiency of our homes, to supporting smart growth solutions.  Buildings and transportation account for the vast majority of energy use and CO2 emissions.  More opportunities to live in green, energy efficient buildings in neighborhoods with convenient walking, bicycling and transit options will make the difference. 

These rallies are a great opportunity to get the attention of our elected officials, spread the word about smart growth, focus on transit instead of the ICC, and learn about how you as an individual can make a difference. The rallies will also feature speakers (including an Arctic explorer), live music, and free energy-saving lightbulbs. Take transit, carpool, walk, or bike to the rallies!

We hope to see you there -- and please stay tuned for more on the global warming-smart growth solutions connection. In the meantime, let us know what you think.
