Scarier Than Halloween
Posted on Friday, October 30th, 2009
Much more frightening than any of the tricks or freaks you’ll encounter this Halloween is the prospect of climate change.
Our friends at the Outdoor Alliance have put together this short video as the energy legislation debate heats up in Congress. “It’s really rather simple,” says OA. “Human-powered outdoor pursuits need a healthy climate. If the climate is out of balance, then our favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors can go from being degraded to actually disappearing.”
The group is calling on the outdoor community to “flex some political muscle and help get the climate back on track.” Take action by clicking here.
Founded in 2006, Outdoor Alliance is a coalition of six member-based national outdoor advocacy groups — Access Fund, American Canoe Association, American Hiking Society, American Whitewater, International Mountain Bicycling Association and Winter Wildlands Alliance — whose mission is to ensure the conservation and stewardship of our land and waters through the promotion of sustainable, human-powered recreation.
Outdoor Alliance serves as the human-powered outdoor community’s voice on “big picture” public lands and waters issues in Washington, D.C. OA’s members, friends and staff testify before Congress, pen editorials and produce films to help the human-powered outdoor community channel its vision of conservation and stewardship directly to national policy makers.
