I am 57 years old and a lifelong environmentalist. I was President
of my high school's Senior Class in 1970 for the very first Earth
Day on April 22 of that year. I organized a day long "ecology
fair" in which the entire school participated. Almost 40 years
later I'm still at it as a founding member of PlugInAmerica.org and
a community leader here in Hermosa Beach for all things
environmental. I need your help, Mr. President. During these 40
years I have often felt like Sisyphus rolling the stone of
environmental awareness up the hill only to have it roll back on me
to the bottom of that hill over and over again. Time is running
out. The global leaders need to hear the call and join us who have
been pushing that stone up the hill. Don't be among those who push that stone back on top of us and to the bottom of the hill. Take us over the top with an International Climate Agreement that gets the job done once and for all.

Hello,
I just submitted my story and I too helped organize the first Earth Day at my high school in 1970. We did a county wide clean up of the rural back roads that were covered with garbage. I am so distraught about the current state of the planet and our country on so many levels.
Now is the time that we must all stand together and call for a national environmental coalition and a coast to coast mobilization, and we must scream bloody murder. Our planet is being destroyed right before out eyes and we must act.
thanks for being a fellow environmentalist - we must prevail. Save the planet, save ourselves.
