Coming Together To Protect The Planet
While Reverend Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson have different views on most issues, when it comes to the urgency of protecting the planet, they agree.
"I am honored that Al Gore asked me to be a part of this campaign urging people to take care of the planet," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcast Network. “It's just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on."
At the taping of this clip, the two joked and prayed together. If these polar opposites can come together on this important and moral issue, why can't you?
Please join more than one million others who know it will take all of us coming together to solve the climate crisis.

Auburn Fall Line Project: Sustainability in the Curriculum
"Based on the nationally recognized Piedmont Project at Emory University, the Auburn Sustainability Initiative has begun the Fall Line Project. This is an innovative approach to curricular change that should be both an intellectually stimulating and collegial experience for faculty across the range of disciplines at Auburn.
Invited speakers and Auburn faculty facilitate discussion of sustainability and its role in the university curriculum. The workshop explores techniques for integrating these issues into our classes. Though we start by taking a close look at Auburn and the larger Eastern Alabama region, we invite participants to engage in local/global comparisons. Skeptics, environmentalists, and those in between have found their various perspectives welcomed and enriched by the dialogue and the project activities."
Links to syllabi by these faculty page include : Art, Business, English, Human Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. |

No Impact Man
“No Impact Man is my experiment with researching, developing and adopting a way of life for me and my little family—one wife, one toddler, one dog—to live in the heart of New York City while causing no net environmental impact. To do this, we will decrease the things we do that hurt the earth—make trash, cause carbon dioxide emissions, for example—and increase the things we do that help the earth—clean up the banks of the Hudson River, give money to charity, rescue sea birds, say.”
