Off to Berkeley

This afternoon Elysabeth and I are going to Berkeley to attend the California Interfaith Power & Light "Energy Oscars" Award Ceremony. It seems I've been nominated to receive an award in the Public Policy category. I don't feel as though I've done that much work for CIPL, but apparently enough to get nominated. I flew to Sacramento a few months ago to lobby on behalf of some Global Warming bills that ended up becoming law, I'm happy to say. I also attended a meeting with some executives at Toyota here in Southern California to ask them to drop their lawsuit against California to block the Clean Car Law.

I'll let you know how it turns out. In the meantime,watch this short clip from CNN featuring Rev. Sally Bingham, the founder and President of Interfaith Power & Light.

If you are a pastor or a church leader you should seriously consider joining Interfaith Power & Light. Click here to see if your state has an Interfaith Power & Light program.

It was good seeing up in Berkeley, congrats on being recognized for your public actions in the state capital and calling out Toyota to stop suing over California's emissions standards.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
