Recently Leonardo diCarpio took a stroll down the Oscar red carpet. He gave a passionate call to action on climate change in his acceptance speech. For his part Bill Gates made a visit to a planet where miracles still happen and called for new technologies to address climate change. (Note to Bill, we did that already!) We discuss all this, and the MA Power Forward meeting to be held at MCAN’s upcoming conference.

(REMEMBER TO SIGN UP FOR THE UPCOMING ANNUAL CONFERENCE! )

The reading list:

• DiCaprio's acceptance speech
• Bill Gates on energy technologies

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
