Presidents Climate Action Plan--David Orr

Orr and team outline what thenext president must do in the first 100 and first 1000 days of his administration. The first thing to do is push energy efficiency. The presidential powers in this regard are specific and enumerated. Somewhere. In the mean time, three things to note:

  1. The news will get worse before it gets better.
  2. Obama will need a constituency to push him to be something new (not move to the center.) We must be CITIZENS, perhaps for the first time.
  3. We have to battle for policy in Washington while we simultaneously make real and measurable change at the hyperlocal level.
This challenge is the heroic work of the human species. This is our finest hour.
