The Sonoma County Climate Protection Campaign participated in the Race to Stop Global Warming on August 17 in San Francisco. Five team members, wearing “North Bay Climate Protection Team” stickers, ran 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) as part of the benefit for the GreenHouse Network, joining several hundred runners from around the Bay Area. Randy Hayes of the Rainforest Action Network was Honorary Chair of the Race.

Mike Sandler, Associate with the Campaign, organized the Team. “Usually I’m depressed about the imminent destruction of our Earth due to climate instability caused by man’s burning of fossil fuels, but after this run, I feel great!” said Sandler. “Solutions exist,” added Sandler, pointing out that all ten Sonoma County jurisdictions are taking responsibility for their GHG emissions, as will be documented in the forthcoming emissions inventory.
