"If the movement to keep the planet's climate in some kind of balance is going to succeed, it needs to be a singing movement— just like the civil rights movement and the peace movement and all the other occasions when people have gathered their courage and spread their message by sharing song.The 'We Shall Overcome' for this moment may or may not have been written yet, but it, and a thousand others, are just as important as new light bulbs to dealing with global warming." Bill McKibben (Founder of "Step it Up 2007)

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
