educators, students and others concerned about global warming:
Focus the Nation informational
meeting.
UC Berkeley-- Tuesday, June 20th Noon-1 PM
103 Mulford Hall: www.berkeley.edu/map
Focus the Nation is an ambitious
educational initiative that will coordinate teams of faculty and students at
over a thousand colleges, universities and high schools in the United States,
to collaboratively engage in a nationwide, interdisciplinary discussion
centered around the theme of "Stabilizing the Climate in the 21st
Century". The project will culminate January 31, 2008, in the form of
one-day, national symposia held simultaneously on campuses across the country.
Working from a firm base in educational institutions, Focus the Nation will
also incorporate participation by religious, civic and business organizations.
Focus the Nation has the potential to organize thousands of institutions and,
with effort, millions of participants across the country to focus national
attention for a day around a serious discussion of climate stabilization. Our
goal is for Focus the Nation to become an "Earth Day 1970" catalyzing
event that can turn the national conversation about global warming from a tone
of fatalism to one of determination.
Who should attend the informational
meetings? All students and educators from K-12 through the University level
interested in an innovative national experiment in interdisciplinary education;
representatives of church, business or civic organizations; concerned citizens.
Focus the Nation is directed by Dr. Eban
Goodstein, Professor of Economics at Lewis & Clark
College
(www.lclark.edu/~eban). For more information, please see the attached project
description, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED],
or call 503-768-7626.
To learn more about Focus the Nation, and
to help build maximum participation in California,
please attend the informational meeting on Tuesday, June 20th.
