Greenpeace USA rolled through my town, Bloomington, Indiana this weekend as part of its national tour to showcase solar energy. Rolling Sunlight will visit 50 communities across the nation talking to people and filming their own comments on how global warming is affecting their lives or will affect their children’s lives.

Their schedule for the next few weeks follows; the tour will proceed through October 16th where it will end in Washington, DC.

• 9/2 Columbus, OH
• 9/5 Phoenixville, PA
• 9/7 Philadelphia, PA
• 9/10 Elmira, NY
• 9/12 Oneonta, NY
