You may have heard the buzz on Hiphopdx.com or Mother Nature Network but we have the exclusive story here today.
Checktheweather Co-founder, Kari Fulton has joined the Hip Hop Caucus and Green For All to help launch the Green the Block Campaign (hence the slacking on the blog posts ;))
The Campaign launched last Tuesday, August 4th at the White House with a briefing and press conference featuring head of EPA Lisa Jackson, Green Jobs Czar Van Jones the head of Housing and Urban Development and the Undersecretary of the Department of Energy.
This campaign is going to be BIG! From getting Keisha Cole to wrap her weave up to clean up hoods in Oakland to having Meth and Redman showing you how they go Green besides just the medicinal way.
But this campaign is bigger than just the celebrities its about making sure that communities or color and low-income communities are supported in the development of a new green economy. It's about advocating for real solutions to Climate Change that don't completely destroy folk's pocketbooks.
The first action is September 11th, 2009! Green the Block will be hosting service events all across the country and maybe in your city too!
