30 Seconds For Clean Energy
February 09, 2010
I was walking through the Campus Center main lounge when I noticed an individual standing in front of an information table on clean energy. The sign she held in front of her was appealing: 30 Seconds for Clean Energy.
I stopped at the table to give her the 30 seconds of my time that she had requested. Instead of learning more about clean energy, she pulled out her cell phone and asked if I would film a 30 second spot on my thoughts on clean energy. In the 30 second statement, I should introduce myself, what I do for a living and why I supported clean energy. The 30 second spot would be posted on the website repoweramerica.org/wall.
I asked the individual to give me her own 30 seconds on clean energy. I was handed three brochures from Repower America (repoweramerica.org) sponsored by The Alliance for Climate Protection. The Alliance, founded by former Vice President Al Gore, was described in one brochure as "a unique non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to educating the global community about the urgency of implementing comprehensive solutions to the climate crisis." Repower America advocates for clean energy, a smart grid, energy efficiency, automobiles that run on electricity and creating clean energy jobs.
I gave her camera my 30 seconds on why I support clean energy. JDH
