The Democratic party is making an all-out effort to offset the considerable carbon emissions caused by putting on an event the size of this year's DNC. Some 35,000 people in all are expected to descend on Denver for the event. Getting us all there, putting us up, feeding us, transporting us from place to place -- all these things will take a toll on the environment.
Two ways you can help:
Join me and make a small donation of $12 to the DNCC "Green Delegate Challenge." How it offsets our carbon footprints is explained on the web site, and donating is quick and easy.
Closer to home, go green while you do good: consider supporting a Massachusetts non-profit, LiveCooler: this organization installs energy-efficient compact fluorescent (CFL) lightbulbs in the homes of low-income families in the Bay State. My $15 donation, and yours, will reduce carbon emissions by one ton, and save families $300 on their energy bills over a 5-year period.
