Goleta Seven Meter

Yesterday, across the nation, more than a thousand local actions dramatized the need for the US to focus its attention to climate change. In Goleta, on the beach, an ice-cube toss into the ocean symbolized how half-way measures just won't cut it. Lightblueline congratulates these actions and everyone who participated! We all need to step up and show we are serious about stopping human induced climate change. In the face of the current administration, which continues to back-pedal on this issue, it will take a strong congress to step forward and lead.

Local residents have several options for helping to mark Earth Day and fight against human-induced climate change. The Daily Nexus (January 16, 2007) reports:

"As many local organizations are putting the finishing touches on their own projects and Earth Day celebrations, a coalition of campus groups is making its own eco-conscious efforts to commemorate the holiday by launching a new interactive program designed to educate UCSB students about global warming.

The Office of the Vice Chancellor, UCSB Libraries, and the Santa Barbara Public Library have joined together to form the three-month long UCSB Reads for Earth Day campaign, which begins Jan. 25 with the on-campus distribution of 3,000 free copies of Elizabeth Kolbert’s Field Notes from a Catastrophe : Man, Nature, and Climate Change - a book about global warming.

Say goodbye to SBA, and Hello to ISLA Vista. No Vista required, it's now an island!
