2.28.04</title></head><body>
<div>Hey Everyone:<br>
<br>
We have state media databases, compiled climate campaign resources and
other great resources/articles/events in upcoming announcements, but
check out this short list:<br>
<br>
1. NEW State Listserves on RiseUp (We are not using Yahoogroups
anymore)<br>
2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder<br>
3. LOTS of Environmental Fellowships and Scholarships (New: Brower
Youth Awards)<br>
4. New England Climate Calendar<br>
5. Public Debate on Wind Energy at BU<br>
<br>
*************************************************<br>
<u><b>1. State Listserves on RiseUp<br>
</b></u>I have added all of you - from the northeast, at least - to a)
your state Climate Campaign listserve and b) this Climate Campaign
announce listserve, both hosted by RiseUp. The Climate Campaign
announce listserve will go out 4-8 times per month (send anything you
want in the newsletter to me), and the state listserves are open to
posting by listserve members.<br>
<br>
A few notes/guidelines:<br>
-the email address of each state listserve is:
climatecampaign-[<i>state initials]</i>@lists.riseup.net<br>
-IT IS VERY EASY TO UNSUBSCRIBE. just send an email to:
climatecampaign-[<i>state initials]</i>-unsubscribe@lists.riseup.net.
IT IS ALSO EASY TO SUBSCRIBE people. All they have to do is
email: climatecampaign-[<i>state
initials]</i>-subscribe@lists.riseup.net.<br>
-DO NOT SPAM the state listserves. Some of them have 100+ people
on them, who will unsubscribe and stop reading them if they become too
high density. Assign individuals to coordinate collecting
specific information (like votes, dates, attendance at events,
etc.)<br>
-Please use them to share ideas, coordinate events and actions, set up
conference calls, etc. - They are a great resource!<br>
<br>
*************************************************<br>
<u><b>2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder<br>
<br>
</b></u>Internship applications are due THIS MONDAY, March 1st.
If you want to apply, but can't get it in that quickly, please let me
know. Interns will work closely with a climate campaign partner
organizer and with their state energy advocate.<br>
The internship application and the conference evaluation are
attached.<br>
<br>

CONSERVATION is work to eliminate or decrease our use of natural
resources and our negative impacts on ecosystems and communities, for

project that plays a substantial role in organizing a local community
to pass a public transportation initiative<br>

cultures and other irreplaceable elements of the world's natural

development of Native sacred sites via ongoing peaceful civil
disobedience, demonstrations, street theater, or other tactics.<br>

ecosystems; parts of ecosystems; and human communities that manage
ecosystems, for example: A project that rallies a community to
