IDEAS INTO ACTION

No War, No Warming - Foreign Policy In Focus, a joint project of IPS and the
International Relations Center, has published

=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fpif.org%2Firaq%2F> several more articles in its "Iraq
Focus" to mark the beginning of the Iraq War's fifth year. Read the articles
in this series to keep tabs on Iraq policy and the movement's progress. 

And heed John Cavanagh's invitation to "

=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stepitup2007.org%2F> step it up" on April 14 and call for
action to put the brakes on global warming.

I checked it out and there are 2 actions on April 14 in Houston. One is at
the Global Warming Cafe, the other in the Woodlands. There is one called
Step Up, Angleton, too. Check it out below. Lee Loe




We have a vital opportunity to link our opposition to the war with the
urgency to address climate chaos during a National Day of Action on April
14. I urge you to join in one of the over 1,200 local actions around the
country - urging our elected officials to pass legislation to slash
greenhouse gas emissions. Go to

the actions will emphasize: "

effort to bridge the gap between the peace and environmental movements. And,
IPS fellow Daphne Wysham is just back from the heart of India's "coal belt."
I urge you to read below her reflections on how the energy transition we
advocate must be global. 


Global Warming Cafe (good way to meet some new folks)


Houston, TX


April 14, 2007 09:00AM to 12:00PM

Event Description:
We are reaching out to the community with the intention of helping others
begin to live more sustainable lifestyles, saving ourselves money,
protecting our environment, and reducing our dependence on foreign oil/gas.
It adds up to one really good step toward stewardship of the Earth. Based on
the successful World Café format, the Global Warming Café is an active
workshop to empower EVERYONE to become part of the global warming solution.
Participants will engage in powerful and heartfelt conversations about
Global Warming, and then will be guided to take personal action to reduce
their carbon footprint and, if they wish to go further, help others do the
same. Specifically, participants are introduced to carbon-reduction tools
and strategies to mobilize our community to reduce its CO2 footprint 20% by
2010.
