Climate Rallies Taking Shape in Region


This region of Virginia will be quite active in the 350.org climate rally scheduled Saturday, Oct. 24. There are four localities--Roanoke, Floyd, Lexington and Blacksburg--that will have events around the rally, which is intended to familiarize people with the threat of global warming.

You can get full information about who/what/why/when/where here. In Roanoke, people will form "the Valley's largest-ever aerial photo" subject, spelling out 350.org at the site of the former Victory Stadium. Granola Central--Grandin Gardens in Raleigh Court--will also hold a harvest festival in conjunction with the rally.

In Blacksburg, ground zero will be Town Hall. Floyd will hold its rally on Black Ridge Road and Lexington's rally is scheduled on the front lawn of Washington & Lee University. All the sites will have photos taken to post in the Web site.
