GLOBAL WARMING ROAD WARRIORS HIT THE SOUTH
The Stop Global Warming College Tour kicks off today April 9th at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. Over the next two weeks, singer-song writer Sheryl Crow and I will visit ten universities across the Southeastern United States in a bio-diesel bus, urging students to join the movement to stop global warming. History proves college students have the ability to be the driving force in large-scale social change and now -- more than ever -- is the time for students across the country to become global warming activists.
The tour will conclude on April 22nd, 2007 at the George Washington University Smith Center where special guests, including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Carole King and Robert Kennedy Jr., will join us for a celebration of Earth Day. The following day, Sheryl Crow & I will deliver the clear, resounding message of millions of Americans - from those we meet on the road and those who have joined the virtual march - directly to the halls of Congress: Americans want immediate action to freeze and then reduce carbon emissions.
