Our Seat at the Table: Forum on Climate Change and New Energy Opportunities
April 18th, 2009
Save The Bay Center
100 Save The Bay Drive, Providence RI
9:30am-12:00pm
On the 18th of April from 9:30am – 12:00pm, policy makers, scholars, and organizers in the Rhode Island environmental movement will host a public forum at Save the Bay’s Providence headquarters on climate change and the potential for a new energy economy in Rhode Island and around the nation. The forum will include a key note address by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, followed by a panel discussion and questions from the audience. Panelists will include Dr. Kate Moran, Associate Dean for Research and Administration at the Graduate School of Oceanography, Jerry Elmer from the Conservation Law Foundation, Chris Wilhite from the Rhode Island Chapter of the Sierra Club and Rachel Calabro from Save The Bay.
The forum will present an opportunity for the public to come together and learn about federal and local climate change policy, how climate change affects Rhode Island, and the opportunities ahead. It will be a chance to urge our members of Congress and state legislators toward action on a new energy future.
This forum is one of over 200 forums being sponsored across the country by the youth action groups 1Sky (www.1sky.org) and Focus the Nation as part of a Nationwide Town Hall on a Just and Clean Energy Future (see www.focusthenation.org). The mission of Focus the Nation is to empower young leaders to engage with their elected officials and communities to accelerate a clean energy transition. 1Sky was created in 2007 to focus the power of millions of concerned Americans on creating bold federal action by 2010 that can reverse global warming.
9:30am - Coffee, Networking
10am - Keynote Address by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
10:30am - Panel Discussion
Panelists: Dr. Kate Moran (Associate Dean, URI Grad School of Oceanography), Jerry Elmer (Conservation Law Foundation), Rachel Calabro (Save the Bay), Chris Wilhite (Sierra Club, RI Chapter)
11:30am - Question and Answer / Talk-back
Please join us. Be part of the movement. - Attachments:

In addition to doing the usual and regular clean-up surveys for their award-winning JAYCEE Corridor & Arboretum, the JAYCEES and their diverse team of associates, also will support the area businesses and commercial entities along with many civic-minded volunteers to focus a direct effect upon the aesthetic appearance of Arctic Village District and locale.
Requirements: Volunteers should be prepared to contribute a couple of hours of general landscape-type tasks out in the fresh air, working with a small group of participants in cleaning-up and ensure proper preparation for greening-up the award-winning JAYCEE Corridor & Arboretum, which forms the portal entrance to the state Senator Donald E.
