Google "Earth Day" and you'll no doubt come across the Earth Day Network, which is holding a 2010 Climate Rally on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Sunday. Earth Day may have passed, folks, but climate change is a year-round concern. The rally, in its 40th year, just like Earth Day, will feature big names like Sting and John Legend and rising stars in the "give a hoot" musical kingdom including Passion Pit, a group fresh off the Coachella music festival.
The rally, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., will be streamed live at www.earthday.org (or just Google it).
John Kerry, the U.S. senator that used to play bass for The Electras, isn't on the bill. Kerry also isn't on the right page when it comes to energy legislation slogging through the halls of D.C., Greenpeace says.
The group's executive director, Phil Radford, is taking swipes at Kerry for the bill, which he crafted with two newer bandmates, er, senators: Republican Lindsey Graham and (currently an) Independent Joe Lieberman. Radford says the legislation has been hijacked by so-called polluter lobbyists, and would reportedly give $10 billion to so-called "clean coal" projects, support construction of a dozen new nuclear plants, and expand offshore drilling.
How's that for a sting?
The Earth Day Network's page includes ways to "Take Action" even if you can't make it to the rally.
