Big Push Against Warming

A Grass-Roots Teaching Effort Has Snowballed Across The U.S. Into A Massive Program About Climate Change At Month’s End

Students in Missouri will truck in 15 tons of coal. Wesleyan will serve a “sustainable” dinner, while kids at the Laureate Elementary School in San Luis Obispo, Calif., are using worms to compost the remains of their lunches.

Central Connecticut State University invited all the presidential candidates, but none of them can make it. But that’s OK: The clowns from Middletown’s ArtFarm will be there to perform their show, “Circus for a Fragile Planet.”

They all will be a part of Focus the Nation, a nationwide effort later this month to teach students and policymakers about climate change and prompt them to act.
