Focus the Nation
Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2008
With meteorological conditions comparable to Biblical wrath pounding the globe (if tornadoes in January and snow in Baghdad doesn't put some Old Testament fear in you, nothing will), now seems like a pretty good time to actually do something about climate change. It's that sense of urgency which compels Focus the Nation, a national "teach-in" taking place in over a thousand locations ranging from schools to places of worship. The Lawrence event will be a roundtable discussion held at the Dole Institute of Politics and moderated by local eco-luminary Simran Sethi. Participants will include Lt. Governor Mark Parkinson, Congressman Dennis Moore, Mayor Sue Hack, plus many more Lawrence and statewide politicos. Simran Sethi joined us to talk about this unique event, its efforts to tackle global "weirding," and the possible solutions at all levels of the Kansas community.
