Santa, elves meet with Kerry staff

[Luftmensch067]

Seven students dressed as Santa and his elves delivered “coal” to Sen. John Kerry in Boston last week – but it was not because he’s been bad.

The group, part of three teams of students bicycling across Massachusetts to meet with residents about climate change, delivered more than a hundred used incandescent light bulbs painted black in recognition of his efforts to reduce heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. The lightbulbs were donated by people who have switched to more energy efficient compact fluorescents.

But it was also a reminder that the students – and the world – will be watching in December as Kerry, Senate Foreign Relations Chairman, is expected take a central role at the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen.

1. Cute! Power Shift is doing a lot to bring awareness to the public...

...about the importance and need for legislation on climate change issues. I DO hope they know Senator Kerry is 'in the bag', so to speak, on this issue. :7 They are preaching to the choir here. ;)
