Global Call for Climate Action

I joined hundreds of people this Sunday afternoon. We all came out to New York City's Central Park to make an aerial art theater piece in the Trump Wollman Ice Rink. The image was stunning. The earth in an hour glass melting and showing the time running out to form the words 'Tck Tck Tck" in the bottom of the glass. Time is running out for us to reach a global climate treaty and this week in NYC thousands of people are attending events, rallies, panels, and actions to demonstrate the need for bold action now.

GOT- You can't go wrong!

I can't get over how critical the Greenpeace Organizing Term (GOT) has been! I did it last summer and now I'm raising money to be on the International Youth Delegation to Copenhagen while my friend, who did the program with me, is doing incredible actions with Greenpeace.

Best life choice ever.

Activities Fair

My club on campus, Students for a Greener Hofstra, made its first appearance of the semester this Monday at the Clubs and Activities Fair. We had our postcards to Obama set out, stickers and information available, and meeting times written and attached to our free clif bars, ready to rock and roll. It was so empowering to feel everything come full circle! I got to see some amazing students that just finished the Greenpeace Organizing Term deliver perfect pitches and I got to go from campaign planner, to trainer for trainers, to student organizers- all in like a week! It was a huge success. Over 80 students, mostly freshman, signed up and over half of those said yes to coming to our planning retreat this weekend. I'm making the agenda for the retreat right now and can't wait to see the campaign plan that comes out of it. And- Something I have been wanting to do my whole college experience.. the dirty waste-to-energy plant down the street is trying to expand and so I will finally get to work with community leaders to shut down dirty energy!
