There is actually a youth climate summit happening this weekend in Texas! Yay! The Re-Energize Texas Summit, Feb 8-10^th at the University of Texas – Austin. After starting off with just a dozen young climate activists four months ago, we’re getting ready this weekend to host a few hundred students coming from all over Texas for the biggest global warming summit ever in the Lone Star state. We have some fantastic speakers including Mayor Will Wynn of Austin, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Peter Illyn, IPCC author Dr. Camille Parmesan, Ted Glick, Br. ChiSing, Tom “Smitty” Smith, Stonyfield Farm CEO Gary Hirshberg and Jim Hightower. We also have an incredible line up of workshops and trainings touching everything from spiritual practice in sustaining activism, climate change and national security, faith and climate, cutting emissions on campuses, green jobs, environmental justice and environmental racism, health and climate, anti-coal and anti-nukes campaigning and more!
