the Focus of my life the last few weeks
This is for everyone at UCSB/Santa Barbara area. I apologize to those who this does not apply to, but I don't have a separate list for those.

Focus the Nation is a collaborative teach-in engaging over 1300 colleges
and universities across the nation on the issue of global climate change.
Learn about how big businesses are working towards going green from Janelle
Kearsley, the Director of Corporate Strategy/Sustainability for Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc.

communities and how activists from these communities are leading the fight
for Environmental Justice.
