Over 150 kids, bicyclists, carpoolers, hybrid drivers, mayor & aldermen gathered to hear music and to sing "Step It Up Congress! Cut CO2 80% by 2080" at our Community Building where in 2003 we raised $20,000 to put up photovoltaic solar panels. Sponsored by the grassroots Green Decade Coaltion/Newton, the speakers energized the crowd to shout hello to distant Step It Up groups in Massachusetts and around to country connecting us all to work for change.

People sign the petition to congress urging strong legislation to "Cut CO2 80% by 2050"
People came on foot, bicycles, in carpools, and in their hybrids to rally for strong legislation. They also made comittments to do more to reduce global warming CO2 use.
