Rally for Local Solutions to Global Warming!
Youth and students are encouraged to attend! And bring your parents too! Free t-shirts to the first 350 people under 21!

Music by Seth Bernard and (Daisy) May Erlewine
Two of northern Michigan’s most acclaimed and popular singers and songwriters, whose folky, bluesy music inspires us to make the world a better place.

Bill McKibben, award-winning author of Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future, explains how doing simple and actually quite attractive things like eating more local food, living in more vibrant urban communities, investing locally instead of in Wall Street, and enjoying our own area’s entertainment and culture can be a big part of stopping global warming. These simple yet effective solutions are not only good for the planet, they will make us happier by improving our quality of life each and every day. With a sustainable revolution converging in our region, it’s time to discover Mr. McKibben’s penetrating insights, remarkable track record, and profound vision, and then make his visit a powerful turning point in Michigan’s journey toward genuine prosperity.
