Get Greener is going solar! In May of 2007, we invested $2900 in solar panels, battery equipment, and a more energy efficient server. This will offset power needs for a laptop and wireless router. In years to come, we will work on powering the server with solar energy. Check out this free CO2 calculator. Find out how much your lights are costing you in money and greenhouse emissions.

 

The National Day of Action on Climate Change took place Saturday, April 14th, around the United States. Author Bill McKibben, the main organizer of the day's approximately 1,400 separate demonstrations across the U.S., spoke at Battery Park in southern Manhattan. The crowd of 3,000-5,000 people wore blue as part of the Sea of People project to promote awareness about global warning and its effects on coastal areas. The most moving speakers were young people, however, who encouraged government representatives to act on legislation that has been introduced to cut carbon emissions by 80% before 2050.
