Help Set the Ecopolitical Agenda for the 44th President

I’m humbled to bring you this exciting news from On Day One:

“How can the next President solve our climate change crisis and reduce our dependence on foreign oil? This is the topic of an upcoming five-day online debate co-sponsored by On Day One, Grist.org’s Gristmill, and UN Dispatch.

Over the next week, we’ll be collecting YOUR ideas on dealing with energy and climate issues. Should we be taxing carbon or capping and trading it? What should we do about alternative energy–is ethanol or other biofuel the answer? What about local and sustainable agriculture? You tell us!

We’ll pick five of the most innovative, provocative, or just plain common sense ideas submitted and hand them over to our panel of experts for review.

Starting June 23rd, each of our experts—including Dave Roberts and Kate Sheppard from Grist, Nigel Purvis from the Brookings Institution and Resources for the Future, and Tim Hurst from Red, Green and Blue will debate and discuss one idea a day throughout the week.

The discussion starts in less than two weeks, so submit your ideas on energy and climate. Don’t feel like submitting an idea? Then vote on one and discuss the ideas already on the site.”
