Coastal Alaska Sends Unified Message Urging Senators to Support Climate Change Legislation
Residents from communities spanning thousands of miles across Alaska’s magnificent coastline gathered on Saturday, October 24 to send a unified message to Senators Murkowski and Begich urging them to support strong climate change legislation in 2009. Alaskans in the coastal communities of Homer, Kodiak, Ketchikan, Haines, Petersburg, Seward, Gustavus, Soldotna, Sitka, and Anchorage participated in the global climate day of action organized across the world by 350.org and sponsored locally by AMCC and Cook Inlet Keeper. Each community held one piece of a message that communicated support for renewable energy, energy efficiency standards, a sustainable green economy, and a cap on carbon dioxide emissions.
