About Jamie
Jamie is the co-coordinator of 350.org, an international global warming campaign. A recent college graduate, he lives in San Francisco, CA. In 2007, he co-organized Step It Up, a campaign that pulled together over 2,000 climate rallies across the United States to push for strong climate action at the federal level. He's also an early member of the youth climate movement, leading one of Energy Action's first campaigns in 2005: Road to Detroit, a nationwide veggie-oil bus tour to promote sustainable transportation. He's traveled to Montreal and Bali to lobby the UN with youth, but he's a strong believer that change happens in the streets not in meetings. Jamie received the Morris K. Udall award in 2007 and has been recognized by the mighty state of Vermont for his work on climate change. You can also find him blogging at Campus Progress' "Pushback," Changents.com, and 350.org.
I like the sentiment, the idea, most of the words.
However, the language is pointless. Why swear? What is the need for it and how is it going to help? It just means children shouldn’t/can’t watch it and many people, such as me, will find it offensive. And especially – why on earth is there a small child swearing?! That is horrific! This would be so much better without the unnecessary language!
Also, I’d like to know where the other $8 goes for the T-Shirts? It doesn’t cost $8 to make/buy and print one T-Shirt!
This has potential… but at the moment, to me, it’s a failure.
So glad that they are getting real about this. This is EXACTLY what we should be saying at this point.
So, instead of going out there and actually doing something about the problem we have a bunch of morons who would rather corral a bunch of kids and coerce them into dropping f-bombs just for the shock value of it, it seems. What good has this done anyone in the gulf? And how many of these sweet little tykes are even from the gulf region? Judging by the universal lack of applicable accents, not many, if any. At least BP is making an effort to deal with the situation. This effort to devalue our culture even further (where’s my copy of The New Yorker? I need assurance our culture even exists anymore) is the thing that is truly “f”-ed up.
