Happy New Year!
Let's hope that this is the year when we (mankind) start to take our
responsibility for our environment seriously and we start to put our ecosystem
above profit and commercialism. I hope you find the items below of some
interest. I'm assuming that the free DVD's for teachers apply to the USA.

"AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH" DVDS FOR TEACHERS50,000 copies of the acclaimed
documentary will be donated on a first come, first serve basis to teachers
across the country interested in using the film as a teaching tool in
classrooms via Participate.net. This generous donation was made possible with
the cooperation of Paramount Vantage, Participant Productions, The
Environmental Media Association, and private funders.
The DVD's will be given away starting Monday, December 18, 2006 thru Thursday,
January 18, 2007. Teachers are encouraged to log on to Participate.net to
request the DVD, which will be delivered within 6-8 weeks. A free curriculum
guide is also available for download.
IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE SUMMERGlobal warming continues to disrupt the
traditional winter holiday season. We've seen record high temperatures in the
US Northeast. Not long before the city of Boston lit their annual Christmas
tree, the temperature hit 69 degrees, breaking a 125-year-old record.
High temperatures in Europe have disrupted the ski season, with little snow in
the Alps threatening low-lying resorts, as global warming has driven
temperatures to their highest in 1,300 years. Global warming is also
threatening to put ski resorts out of business in Spain, where nearly all the
resorts are closed for lack of snow.
SHERYL CROW JOINS THE VIRTUAL MARCHWe’re pleased to announce Sheryl Crow has
joined the Stop Global Warming Virtual March. As she says, “It is imperative
that we change the way we treat our planet.” Click here to read her full
statement
PRINCETON STUDENTS "PULL THE PLUG"We applaud campus groups who are encouraging
students going on winter break to help conserve energy and reduce their carbon
footprints. Princeton’s “Pull-the-Plug” campaign asks students to pledge to
unplug dorm room appliances and electronics and turn down their thermostats
before leaving for vacation, with volunteers checking rooms for compliance.

BRIGHT IDEA: CHANGE YOUR BULBSAn easy way to help stop global warming is to
replace standard light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), which use
up to 66% less energy.
In celebration of Hanukkah, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” Virtual
March partner The Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL) has
launched a national campaign to get people to change their bulbs to CFLs, and
become engaged in awareness, advocacy, and action to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and promote energy conservation. Click here to learn more about their
climate change campaign
SAVE YOUR GIFT WRAPPINGGift wrap is a $2.7 billion industry in the United
States, and almost none of it is made from recycled paper. It’s time to end the
waste. This year, consider other options such as reusing wrapping paper you
receive, using newspaper, magazines or recycling your children’s art to wrap
gifts.
SGW WEBSITE UPDATE: MARCHER IMPACT PAGESIn an effort to simplify the process
for joining the March and spreading the word, we have phased out the individual
marcher “impact” pages, largely due to the fact that our movement has grown so
large. Our new “Tell a Friend” feature makes it even easier to invite your
friends and family to join. Keep spreading the word so we can become even
stronger in the coming year! And watch for some exciting new marcher features
and communication tools in 2007.
Keep Marching!Laurie DavidFounderStopGlobalWarming.org

Our mission is to use the strength of numbers to urge our government to join

a new industrial revolution of clean energy that reduces our dependence on oil.
