The Climate Summit - Join “Online” Friday 9am PST

A few short weeks ago our new Hawaiian friends from the Earth Foundation told us about a new tele-precencing - ultra low-carb conference called “The Climate Summit”.  Great name! We at Empowerment Works love the idea, and are exploring how we too can walk the talk with a smaller footprint by collaborating more online leading up to and during  The “Global” Summit II (Nov. 8-10 in SF!!) — Stay tuned for more info!

FOR now, to register online for The CLIMATE Summit, go to:  www.theclimatesummit.org

INVITE INFO FROM DIRECTOR, STUART SCOTT:

Please join The Climate Summit’s first 2-hour ’strategy session’ to discuss and divise action on moving to a low-carbon world.  It will also be an exploration of the medium in anticipation of a larger, higher visibility Climate Summit tentatively scheduled for late May.

The Climate Summit - Strategy Session begins 9:00 AM in California (PST), and local times can be found the following link: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=4&day=16&year=2010&hour=9&min=0&sec=0&p1=283

Also, MIT’s Center for Collective Intelligence has created a custom portal for their use within their Climate Collaboratorium.

http://climatecollaboratorium.org/web/guest/theclimatesummit

To interact with these debates you must create a login on the MIT website.  The Massachusetts Instituted of Technology (MIT) does not sell or spam, so have no fear there.  You can view without creating an ID and logging in, but to vote, suggest, comment, etc. you must be logged in.  Please do spend that time.  This is work for our future, our children’s future, and the future of life on Earth.  That is not empty rhetoric.

For the Earth,
Stuart Scott, Director
The Climate Summit
