>>WHY EARTH DAY 2000? For the first time in history, humans are reshaping
>>the entire planet. We are changing the climate; triggering an epidemic
>>of extinctions; violating the last remaining wild places; and
>>multiplying and consuming far beyond the world's carrying capacity.
>>Twenty-six years after the first oil embargo; thirteen years after
>>Chernobyl; seven years after the United Nations Earth Summit in Rio; two
>>years after the Kyoto Climate Conference - no country on Earth has made
>>a commitment to a renewable energy future. The time is long overdue to
>>make a rapid shift away from fossil fuels and towards energy efficiency
>>and renewable energy solutions that will not only protect the
>>environment and wildlife, but will also save money, create business
>>opportunities, and protect human health. The Earth Day 2000 Campaign is
>>calling for international, national, local, and individual energy
>>choices that produce far less carbon dioxide and no radioactive waste.
>>
>>EARTH DAY 2000 FORUM GOALS: The goals of the forum are to spark public
>>debate on the future of U.S. energy and climate change policy; engage
>>New England citizens in setting the Earth Day 2000 agenda; and kick-off
>>a year of environmental action from April 22, 1999 to April 22, 2000 to
>>persuade universities, companies, governments and others to make a swift
>>transition to clean, safe, renewable energy sources and to take a giant
>>leap forward in energy efficiency, among many other environmental policy
>>reforms.
