Dear SolarFest trustees and Festival Committee members,
(If I wrote this on the forum, those of you on both lists wouldn't
get two emails, but as not everyone has signed up yet, I send this
way for the best communication.)
Below is a link, just one of many that I'm sure can be found, about
Bill McKibben (who has agreed to be Keynote Speaker for us again!)
and the Step it Up events happening around the country on April 14.
I've been talking with the organizer of the event at Middlebury, a
friend of SolarFest friend Stephen Kiernan, and SolarFest is invited
to participate. I floated the idea of us taking on a piece of
education/action: CFLs. We would also table/publicize our event.
Are there people on this list who would like to be involved? Please
reply just to me and I will collate (to reduce email traffic for all).
Spring cometh....
Melissa

I went to Dartmouth College on Wednesday and saw Bill McKibben present. His message is consistent with "Sustainability awakening", being that with the awakening to the issue of global climate change, he is calling for a surge of public opinion to force policy makers to get serious about serious work to alleviate it.
To me, he did not commit to coming to Solarfest in July. He said he would know in June whether he could carve out the time from an apparently daunting work load.
