SAVE THE DATE: Politics & Action! Sun., Feb. 21st, 2 - 4pm |
|
EarthTeam is happy to announce that Rep. Nancy Skinner will be speaking at the upcoming Climate Action Campaign Meeting on Sunday, Feb. 21st! She's an awesome environmental role model:
- having introduced Berkeley's ban on Styrofoam back in 1988 (the first in the nation);
- having founded ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, an organization dedicated to helping local governments around the world become environmental leaders;
- and helping the groundbreaking AB32, CA's global warming bill, pass!
- She's also published the best selling book series 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save the Earth :)
She's the Assembly Woman for District 14, which includes: Albany, Berkeley, Canyon, East Richmond Heights, El Cerrito, El Sobrante (part), Emeryville, Kensington, Lafayette, Moraga, Oakland (part), Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, Rollingwood, San Pablo, and Waldon (part).
So please mark your calendars and come pick her brain! The location is TBA, but most likely at the Brower Center - Berkeley's new home for environmental and social action. There will also be info on the upcoming application for the Brower Youth Awards (the premier award for youth environmentalists in the US), plus yummy snacks and other activities!
Space is limited - so please RSVP to

Green Screen Website Re-design -- Vote for Your Favorite Video! |
|
EarthTeam's Green Screen website has a new look and new special features. You can still view all of the Green Screen episodes (we're now up to episode #25!), which were created by the teen crew of the Green Screen. However, now you can also vote on your favorite episode. New features include a page with Green Screen's posters and comics, and a page with brief bios from the Green Screen student crew. The site will soon have an additional page with links to all the 1-10 minute webisodes (short video clips filmed by the students). For now, you can view these webisodes by visiting the Green Screen YouTube channel . Please subscribe to this channel and help spread the word!
