Focus the Nation

Global Warming Solutions for America

The Seventh Generation Project is participating in the Focus the Nation national teach-in on January 31, 2008.

"Decisions that are ours to make today – to stabilize global warming pollution and invest in clean energy solutions – will have a profound impact not only on our lives and the lives of our children, but indeed for every human being who will ever walk the face of the planet from now until the end of time. At this moment in time, we owe our young people one day of focused discussion about global warming solutions for America."
