It’s not too late to get involved in what organizers are calling an unprecedented U.S.-wide teach-in focused on solutions to global warming.

Organized by “Focus the Nation,” the teach-in — scheduled to culminate on Thursday, Jan. 31 — aims to get millions of students, teachers, people of faith and other citizens together in various locations to discuss just one topic: how Americans can start tackling climate change [...]

On January 31, 2008, millions of students will engage in activities focused on global warming solutions as part of Focus the Nation’s National Teach-In.  The 2008 National Teach-In:  Global Warming Solutions for America is not just for  k-12 teachers and students, but it includes higher education, civic groups, businesses, faith organizations, homeschool families, etc.  “Focus the Nation is a catalyzing force helping shift the national conversation about global warming towards a determination to face this civilizational challenge.”

Focus the Nation explains,

A teach-in is a day when an entire school turns its attention to a single issue—when faculty, students and staff put aside business as usual, and focus the full weight of campus engagement on one topic.
