Canvassing yesterday proved much more successful for me and the rest of the team then the first day... Practice makes perfect I suppose... I find canvassing a really unique experience in that you can meet and connect with someone instantly over a problem that we are all facing together... However, for every interested, concerned person there usually is a door slam, however, it's still getting the word out there- good or bad, people are talking about climate change... concerned or skeptic...
We are hosting a symposium this Saturday the 20th June, 12:30 pm at the Sturgis Library in Barnstable. We have been madly making flyer's, calling media contacts and calling on some lovely ladies of St. Mary's Church to reach out to anyone they know who may be interested in attending. We are all pumped to be hosting our first one and can't wait to meet and connect and share this experience with the people who come...
Sarah, a lady whom me met through St. Mary's Church and her husband has invited us over for dinner tonight... We are canvassing near by and when we finish we will be going straight there to enjoy a nice meal and a shower- which we are uber excited about... We too have been showering via 'anti bacterial wet ones'...
As Heather wrote earlier in the week, the meeting with Barbara Hill (Ex. Director of Clean Power Now) and her crew has given us even more information and knowledge to share with the people of the Cape. We have been giving people flyer's that informs, educates and empowers citizens to support viable renewable energy projects and policies, and to secure their local and regional benefits. The proposed Wind Farm in Nantucket Sound, pulled some great coverage and had a story featured on 'The Daily Show' with Jason Jones, go to their website www.cleanpowernow.org to view.
My 30 minute time limit on the computer is up, so must cruise...
Peace and Pedal Love,
Courto
