Moving Planet on the Prairie Path

Our next big project is to help make the Moving Planet on the Prairie Path event a huge success.  Bill McKibben's "350.org" group has launched a worldwide Moving Planet event on Saturday, September 24.  Locally, we plan to have bikers, walkers, and others to move along the Prairie Path under "people power" to promote a carbon-free future.  The Prairie Path activity will end with a large celebration in Villa Park. This is still in the early stages of planning.  Please check for updates by searching for the Villa Park location at http://www.moving-planet.org/
