The Iowa Global Warming campaign is back for 2008.
After a short hiatus, Iowa Global Warming is back to work and starting its 2008 campaign. It was a successful 2007, with most of the presidential candidates taking increasingly strong positions on global warming. The group is expanding work to include state and local policies as well as national.
Goals are:
- To get people involved as effectively and easily as possible, even if they only have a minute to give.
- To create a "buzz" for global warming solutions through public events, word of mouth and media attention.
- To provide opportunities to get together, meet new people and have fun.
- And, most importantly, to make sure elected officials make global warming solutions and priority.
In that spirit, you are invited to Iowa Global Warming's official campaign kickoff today -- St. Patrick's Day -- "You don't have to be Irish to go Green." Free admission to see "Leonardo DeCaprio's the 11th Hour." The film's web site has more information.
The event will take place tonight from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at Billy Joe's Picture Show at 1701 25th St., West Des Moines. Admission is free as are appetizers, popcorn and beverages. There will also be other food and drink specials.
Individuals who would like more information on Iowa Global Warming are encouraged to visit the organization's web site.

Lynda - thank you so much for posting this, with a strong organizing effort and the help of friends like you, we had almost 150 people at the event. The film moved attendees (someone actually thanked me at HyVee yesterday!), and there was a great discussion and question/answer session afterwards. I'll let you know when we have another event - in the meanwhile, thanks for helping us make St. Patrick's Day a little more Green!
