Massachusetts Power Shift
A weekend-long climate change summit happening in Boston, April 11-14th. Power Shift 2007 drew over 5,500 students to Washington D.C., and the upcoming Massachusetts version hopes to unite both students and community members from Massachusetts and the Northeast to bring about strong solutions to the climate and poverty crises at hand. Please check out the website to learn more.

A Sense of Wonder
Kaiulani Lee has just brought her stage play "A Sense of Wonder" to video fulfilling her long-sought goal to expand the reach of her message into schools and homes, and to nature enthusiasts who may not have yet experienced the play first-hand. The 52-minute color high-definition video adaptation of the stage play, shot in 2007 at Rachel Carson's actual summer cottage on Southport Island, Maine - is, in a word, stunning. Viewers are treated to Carson's words from the actual location where they were written, to the accompaniment of Beethoven's Violin Concerto (Carson's favorite classical work).

By visiting the new film's website you can learn more and even get your own "sneak peek" at the new production. Plans are to offer the film for sale in DVD format later in March, via the Web site.
