Rally for Renewables

I can't believe I didn't mention this earlier!

The kids with Vermont Sustainable Heating Initiative are planning a "Rally for Renewables" on Wednesday of this week. We'll leave the High School at 5pm and march to the State House, where we'll hold a rally, with students signing up to give a little testimony about where they want their energy to come from in the future.

So far we've got 54 kids who've said they'd like to come to this rally from the facebook event page, and 189 kids who "might show up". Plus we've got students who've said "I'm bringing a car-full of kids", and other people saying that they're alerting their church groups, etc. It's going to be wild.

This is all leading up to a Public Hearing to be held at the State House that evening at 7pm regarding the effect of fossil fuel prices on the Vermont economy.

And Dude. I just got off the phone with a guy from Bernie Sanders office (Vermont Senator to the US legislature). He wants to come, cause he'll be in town that day! His schedule's tight, so he might now, but if he can he will. That's SO exciting. Gah!

I hope all the details work out. I'm a little nervous for that...
