courant.com | Global Ambitions, Local Rally: "The environmental revolution starts first thing in the morning, and then it lasts all day.

The event was part of the first National Day of Climate Action, as called by the organization Step It Up. The Vermont-based group was founded by author and environmentalist Bill McKibben."
