Bill McKibben is an excellent writer, one of those I try and emulate–clear, concise, to the point, heartfelt.

Step it Up 2007 is an effort he’s started to cut carbon emissions by 80%, by the year 2050.

The local effort in Portland happens April 14, 2007, the National Day of Climate Action. 889 events in 49 states are already scheduled.

See you there.
