Here in Vermont, not only will people be taking part in this event, but they will also be celebrating Green Up Day.  Annually, on the first Saturday in May, people from all corners of Vermont will flood into roadside ditches, lake shores and fields with a mission of picking up trash, planting trees and keeping the state beautiful!  Here in Waitsfield, just outside our office doors, Hurricane Irene did quite a number on our community. All of us at 1% for the Planet we will be helping green up our community and then later in the day joining people from 350.org to “connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather.”  We hope to see some of you there, or if you are from out of town, find an event in your area!
