Community Climate Advocate and Salonista Jeff Cobb to present at Salon Wed. next week (3/25).
BUT ALSO ASKING YOUR HELP NOW FOR “1SKY”:
Hello,
I'll be speaking about 1Sky.org at the next Salon, but the deadline for this competition is Saturday, so I need to send this now.
I'm a volunteer organizer for 1Sky.org, a grassroots activist organization on climate change I was led to join. 1Sky.org is a nonprofit umbrella group with 350 allies such as Greenpeace USA, Natural Resources Defense Council, League of Conservation Voters, etc. working to make sure that: CO2 is capped according to the recommendations of the scientists, there is a moratorium on coal-fired power plants, and we create five million green jobs to move the US from fossil fuels to clean energy (Obama has already created 2 million!). We are organizing in every single Congressional district and then in every single voting precinct and getting to know and educate the environmental liaisons for each member of Congress. Every time any bill is up for a vote in committee or on the floor of Congress that deals with any of our three main issues, we make sure Congress receives a tsunami of emails, phone calls and faxes in support of it. There are 65 lobbyists per member of Congress, and the number of lobbyists working on climate change has rapidly increased in recent months. Grassroots accountability of Congress is the only thing that stands a chance of overcoming fossil fuel lobbying millions!
1Sky.org was founded in part by Robert Gass, a good friend of my teacher, Oscar Miro-Quesada www.mesaworks.com <http://www.mesaworks.com> . 1Sky.org is run by some of the most seasoned, experienced environmental activists out there, and the internet side of the operation is run by the same web guru that successfully transitioned Barack Obama's community organizer skills to the internet, to winning effect.
Green Mountain Coffee www.greenmountaincoffee.com <http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com> is giving away a grant for $200,000 each to four different nonprofits. To vote for 1Sky.org, please click on this link http://www.justmeans.com/competitionidea/7701/promoteidea.html. Look for 'OneSky.org', they couldn't make the name '1Sky.org', had to spell it out. Votes must be cast by midnight Saturday March 21st. (if you can make this work you are better than me... I went to this link and couldn’t figure it out. Ellen.) Also, please feel free to join my group below, if you would like to actively take part in 1Sky.org, or feel free to create your own 1Sky group!
Jeff Cobb
Climate Change Advocates of Cincinnati
http://climate-change-advocates-of-cincinnati.groups.local.1sky.org/en/summary/
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon said climate change is an 'existential threat' to humanity. There are 65 lobbyists per member of Congress, and there has been a dramatic increase in the number of lobbyists working on climate change. Grassroots political activism is needed to make sure laws passed to deal with climate change put the science first and money second.
I will speak on Wed. at the salon about the cutting edge science of climate change, the all important do-or-die successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol to be hashed out in December, the tipping points of runaway, irreversible, catastrophic climate change, and asking you to add your voice to the growing chorus of proper Earth Stewardship.
The Organic Consumers Association does not support HR 875 in its present form, given the fact that, if the Bill's regulations were applied in a one-size-fits-all manner to certified organic and farm-to-consumer operations, it could have a devastating impact on small farmers, especially raw milk producers who are already unfairly targeted by state food-safety regulators. Although the OCA deems this Bill as somewhat well-intentioned, we are calling on Congress to focus its attention on the real threats to food safety: globalized food sourcing from nations such as China where food safety is a joke and domestic industrial-scale and factory farms whose collateral damage includes pesticide and antibiotic-tainted food, mad cow disease, E. coli contamination and salmonella poisoning. And, of course, Congress and the Obama Administration need to support a massive transition to organic farming practices.

- Statement by parents of Esme Kenney
- Letter from Ed Gutfreund about the memorial for Esme
- Comment on our discussion about Esme’s death by reader Susan Rivers-Payne
- from the silver pen of Steve Sunderland: about Esme’s death
Moving Statement by the Parents of Esme Kenney
We want to say a few words about our daughter Esme Louise Kenney. This tragedy has caused us all unspeakable pain and anguish. But Esme was an extremely positive, open and caring person. when we think of young people, we would hate to see this tragedy hurt people’s ability to see life in a loving caring way.
The last few days of her life were among the most positive with her brother and uncle in town, a good guitar lesson and a sense of accomplishment after finishing several projects at school. She felt so good and it was such a beautiful early spring day that she did an unusual thing for her: she went for a jog across from our house, which ultimately led to her demise. Finally, and we did not expect this, the community’s overwhelming response to her death has lessened our pain. From kids in her class having the courage to call us and offer their condolences and offer help in any way, to church communities (and we mean plural), to our local community where we live, to her Owl community and school community, has helped us to remember our basic belief that most people are good at heart and are capable of random acts of kindness to offset the random acts of violence.
We are overwhelmed with the love and support we have received from family, friends and even total strangers. We are so touched and fortified and thank you all. I wish to share this outpouring of love with the other families who lost their daughters, sisters, friends to this man. Thinking of her murderer, I cannot wrap my mind around the kind of pain, hate and evil that must be in his heart to have committed such heinous acts on not just my baby but several other young girls as well. Though I cannot understand his hate and insanity, I do know that we must not meet this with our own hate. I appeal to all to instead embrace Esme’s way, which was love and kindness and positivity. In the words of St. Francis Assisi, “ Lord make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is doubt, faith, where there is despair, hope, where there is sadness, joy.”
When I feared bad things happening to my Esme, this just seemed too extreme. It is something that happens in the newspaper. You know I worried about her getting hit by a car when she went out to get the mail or worried she would drown in the lake up in Canada but this…. this just seemed like such an extreme remote possibility in the spectrum of parental nightmares. I find my mind working within archetypal frames. My Esme was such a good and loving person and he so extremely sinister, it’s like a clash of magnetic forces. I can’t help but think that what happened Saturday was that such a bright light has collided with this extreme malevolent force and I want to believe that what he actually did was not to snuff her light out but to cause an explosion of love and light that will embed a shard of goodness and kindness into all the hearts of those that remember Esme Kenney. He can not win.
Ed Gutfreund thanks participants of Memorial for Esme Kenney:
Dear Bobby, Mark, Betsy, Skip, Mac, Mary (and Lee), and Mike (Anne, please pass this on.),
I wanted to take a few moments to tell you how grateful I am for your great contributions to the program yesterday. I think it went extremely well and, despite the minimal rehearsal, was really good music. I appreciate your flexibility and your great skills to enter all the songs with such finesse and artful playing.
Besides being a little rusty, it had been a very difficult week because of Esme's death. I was glad to see Tom and his nephew Brad there, and it also made it very real that there is no escaping the pain of that loss. Having the great sounds and personal connection with each of you held me up really well. At the very beginning of the program--In the middle of the first verse of the Quaker Hymn, I got this rush of energy hearing all your music and voices and I had this great awareness that I remember how well we all know how to do this well. It set up the energy of the rest of the day. Thank you; and I have had many, many comments about how much people enjoyed the music.
We got money in donations at the door. After I pay the church and some other expenses there is a little money left. If it is ok with each of you I would like to give it to Tom and Lisa Kenney as a donation in your names for the school project in Myanmar that Esme's sister, Meghan, and her husband Todd are working at as teachers and are helping to rebuild after a cyclone blew it down. I think they would appreciate it. I am also attaching the statement that Tom and Lisa wrote and had read at Esme's funeral. It will give you another idea of what remarkable parents and persons they are.
Also, I mentioned that we would do this again. I am committed to that. After conversations with several of you early in June is better than later in June. I could do another event on May 31 or June 7, which is just two weeks before the Summer Solstice. Let me know what works for you if you would like to do this again, and I will begin arranging things. It would be fun and I think a valuable gift to the community. We'll never get rich on these, but I find it a very useful and pleasant way to offer what we have to the community.. Hope you will be able to be part of it again. There are a lot more good songs to do and good questions to ponder.
You each have my deep respect for your skills, artistry, and generosity. And I am grateful for your long friendships.
Warmest regards,
Ed
Weekly Lurker Susan Rivers-Payne on our discussion about Esme’s death:P.S. if you know others who are interested in making a memorial donation they can go to www.lanternprojects.org <http://www.lanternprojects.org> and donate to project #132
AAAARGHHH. I just read the table discussion about the sexual predator who is accused of murdering Esme Kinney. It is an appalling, criminal deed. However, to question whether or not he has a mental illness because he "doesn't look right" is a huge disservice to those individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental illness. I work with persons with severe mental illness every day; have a son with paranoid schizophrenia. These are the most victimized, discriminated group of individuals in our society. Not everyone who commits a crime has a diagnosed mental illness; criminals should be labeled appropriately. Our justice system failed Esme and other victims of Anthony Kirkland and should be held accountable.
Perhaps it would be helpful to have a guest speaker from one of the local Community Mental Health Agencies address this issue. I would be happy to recommend an excellent speaker. Wish I had been able to be at the table Wednesday.
