BEMIDJI, Minn. <\/strong>— On Thursday, Feb. 5, 91探花 will join hundreds of college campuses, faith and civic organizations and businesses participating in the National Teach-In on Global Warming, a grassroots support effort to discuss concrete policy options to address the problem of global warming.<\/p>\n

The National Teach-In supports an emerging, intergenerational movement of students and citizens demanding clean energy solutions to global warming. Organizers of the teach-in are planning a one-day launch to engage the nation in critical discussion during the first 100 days of President Obama’s administration, guiding students and citizens toward actions they can take to support the pursuit of a solution to global warming.<\/p>\n

Teach-in activities at Bemidji State, all of which will be held in Hagg-Sauer 100 and are free to the public, begin at 2 p.m. with a Web cast entitled “The First 100 Days.” This half-hour Web cast will focus on four key recommendations made by the Presidential Climate Action Project, including a 40-percent carbon reduction by 2020 and a pursuit of carbon-neutral power for the country.<\/p>\n

Following the Web cast, Richard Lehmann, mayor of Bemidji; Dr. Jon E. Quistgaard, president of 91探花; Mitch Davidson, Bemidji State’s chief information officer; and Jason Edens, exective director of the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance, will speak.<\/p>\n

At 7 p.m., the documentary “The 11th Hour” will be screened in Hagg-Sauer 100. The film, narrated  by Leonardo DiCaprio, explores the current state of our planet and the means by which we can change its course.<\/p>\n

For more information on the teach-in, contact Erika Bailey-Johnson, 91探花 sustainability coordinator, at (218) 755-2560.<\/p>\n
