April 14th Global Warming Event in Horner Park: Step it up!

Lincoln Square/North Center: Horner Park Event

Chicago, IL

Saturday April 14, 2007 01:00PM

Event Description:
(*Note new location and time) Demand that Congress Step it Up and act quickly on Global Warming. Join us at Horner Park, 1:00pm, under the power-wasting, energy-worshipping, new, 60 foot god-awful light towers that have just been installed for night baseball (just when we were learning to switch to energy saving light bulbs!), for a “Step it Up” event to Stop Global Warming. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, a guitar and a song or poem to share, on the subject of living more sanely and modestly and carefully on this Earth. We will be handing out flyers to request that the banks of Hi-powered lights be replaced by wind turbines that could power the Horner Park Fieldhouse and bathrooms and possibly earn money for the park instead of bleeding it away.

See you there!

Location:
Horner Park under the new lights near California and Berteau (midway between Irving Park and Montrose)

Directions:
The Irving Park bus will take you there. Western Ave is also walking distance.

RSVP on the Step it up website. All are welcome.

Here’s the old kind of wind turbine:

and here’s the new kind that is designed for urban landscapes such as Horner Park:
