Global warming activist Laurie David and Grammy Award winning singer-song writer Sheryl Crow will kick off the Stop Global Warming College Tour in Dallas, TX to urge college students to become part of the movement to stop global warming and demand solutions from themselves, their schools and their country.
During the two-week tour, college students, university leaders, faculty and staff will be encouraged to join the Stop Global Warming Virtual March (www.stopglobalwarming.org or stopglobalwarming.msn.com) and have their voice counted as the bus rolls through their campus.
The 90-minute performance will include remarks by David, a short performance by Crow, clips from An Inconvenient Truth, humorous clips from top comedians, and a dialogue with students.
The College Tour will begin on Monday, April 9th at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas, and continue on to 10 universities across the Southeastern United States in a bus using bio-diesel fuel.
In addition, stopglobalwarming.msn.com launches today. The new site created with MSN uses rich media and in-depth information to extend the Stop Global Warming Virtual March to the MSN network of 465 million users. The site will provide day to day coverage of the Stop Global Warming College Tour, offering exclusive behind the scenes video, interviews from the road, posts from an embedded blogger and solutions that consumers can use to combat global warming.
Stopglobalwarming.msn.com will also work to foster a community of concerned citizens using MSN properties, such as MSNBC environmental news message boards, and a Windows Live Messenger theme pack from StopGlobalWarming.org, to empower users to show their support in the fight against global warming.
The tour will conclude on April 22nd, 2007 at the George Washington University Smith Center where special guests will join the two for a celebration of Earth Day. The following day, Crow & David will deliver the clear, resounding message of millions of Americans – from those they meet on the road and those who have joined the virtual march – directly to the halls of Congress: Americans want immediate federal action to stop global warming.
