Dear Friend,
What does 21st century transportation look like for you? Here's what's in this week's edition of CoolCATs Weekly:
1) Public Workshop on Aquidneck Island
2) David Stookey invites you to a party
| 1) Make your voice heard for global warming solutions at the Aquidneck Island Transportation Study Public Workshop |
|
 Next week, the Aquidneck Island Transportation Study will hold its first official public workshop to help shape Aquidneck Island's transportation system of tomorrow.
A transportation system of tomorrow must address global warming emissions and energy independence. You can be a part of helping to rebuild 21st Century transportation for the New Energy Economy.

| 2) This Thursday: Join David Stookey in Organizing for the Aquidneck Public Workshop |
|
 David Stookey, Sierra Club member and founder of Cool Aquidneck Island, is hosting a house party this Thursday evening to make sure that Aquidneck Island Sierrans are on the same page for next week's workshop. David's top concern is that a 21st Century transportation system on Aquidneck Island must significantly cut global warming emissions and reduce dependence on oil.

| 3) What are CoolCATs? |
 Cool CATs are the Sierra Club's Cool Cities Community Action Teams. Cool Cities or Cool Communities are those local governments that sign on to the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Sierra Club Community Action Teams are teams of volunteer activists who work together to build environmental communities by hosting house parties, going door to door with our message, or participating in phone banks. |
Thank you for signing up for Cool CATs Weekly. You can make your community "Cool" by advocating for renewable power, green buildings and transportation choices. Visit the Cool Cities website for resources and toolkits. Sincerely, Chris Wilhite Sierra Club Rhode Island Chapter |
