FAQ
Take Our Message to Washington!

Do you want meaningful action on global warming? Do you want it now? Do you like to bicycle country roads and meet fun people engaged in making a difference? If so, join Climate Ride 2008, the first multi-day bicycle tour where you pedal to raise money and awareness to stop global warming.

In addition to lobbying when we arrive in Washington, money raised by Climate Riders will benefit the non-profits Clean Air – Cool Planet and Focus the Nation.

Join us today for a bike ride you will never forget.
  1. Developing and supporting a U.S. climate change policy that is economically efficient, environmentally sound, pragmatic, and bipartisan.

  2. Working with communities throughout the Northeast to inventory and reduce their greenhouse gases across all of their civil sectors.

  3. Educating business leaders on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the workplace with an eye on saving money, improving morale, and attracting new customers.

  4. Providing free inventory software and hands-on support to college and university partners looking to measure their campus greenhouse gas emissions and educate the next generation of climate stewards and environmental professionals.

  5. Collaborating with science center and museum educators to design fun and rigorous climate change educational tools.


  1. Campus to Congress – The first 100 days of the new administration will be a critical moment for the United States, and for the planet. The new congress must pass policies to stop global warming. In February 2009, Focus the Nation will engage half of the US Congress with students in face-to-face dialogue about their future.

  2. The National Teach-in – In January 2008, Focus the Nation organized the biggest national teach-in in US history, focused on global warming solutions. We engaged over 1900 colleges, universities, high schools and other institutions. In February 2009, millions more students and citizens, at thousands more schools, will participate in this powerful educational initiative.

  3. Action on a Scale That Matters – Join us. Sign up your college, your kids' middle school, or your church, synagogue or business and be a part of Focus the Nation. Together, our voice will be strong enough to change the future.
