Baller of the Week
"Former Vice President Al Gore, who emerged from his loss in the muddled 2000 presidential election to devote himself to his passion as an environmental crusader, was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations network of scientists." (Read Article)
So, for stepping up and helping "build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and (laying) the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change," Al Gore is this week's Baller of the Week.
The Envirolution Spotlight
- As the nation’s leading policy institute dedicated to smart economics, Redefining Progress develops solutions that help people, protect the environment, and grow the economy.
-
"We need tools to help us measure our progress on our path towards sustainability" says Tina Ramos, of the Envirolution Education Committee, "and this is exactly the types of resources and services that Redefining Progress is providing. Another cool thing about this organization is that they openly welcome help from other organizations and individuals. This type of inclusiveness is key to the success of this movement"
- Take their Ecological Footprint Quiz and see how big of an impact your consumption pattern has on the planet!!!

WHY DO WE NEED AN ENVIROLUTION?
Globally, every 24 hours, we consume and release the same amount of energy that the earth needed 27 years to store, every year we lose 25 billion tons of fertile topsoil, and every year, somewhere between 20,000 and 100,00 species go extinct.
ARE YOU READY TO STEP UP?
We call on Our Generation to unite, create accountability and take dedicated action in advancing society towards one that values its environmental and social wealth as much as its financial. We call on current leaders to step up as role models and help Our Generation in this endeavor. Together, we will develop the platform, network and forum necessary to empower Our Generation to step up and make a difference.
THE GREEN WAVE
Green Festivals
Green Festivals are a celebration of what’s working in our communities– for people, for businesses and for the environment.
A joint project of two national nonprofit organizations, Global Exchange and Co-op America, Green Festivals bring together local and national socially responsible businesses, and environmental, social justice and community organizations. Hundreds of thousands of concerned individuals over the years have attended these “parties with a purpose” aimed at forging a just, sustainable, inclusive economy – a green economy.

EDUCATE YOURSELF
Make the Switch
One of the easiest things that we can do to LIVE IT is make the switch over to renewable energy. In most places, it's really as easy as a couple clicks on a website, and usually doesn't cost more than $5-$10 extra a month (a small price to pay to help thrust renewable energy into the mainstream!!).
For those of you in NYC, go to the ConEd Solutions website and click on the "For Residential Costumers" link.
