Plenty Magazine: Step it Up 2007

This past Saturday, the PlentyTV team went to Battery Park, Manhattan, to Step It Up for an 80% reduction in U.S. carbon emissions by 2050. We spoke with writer, environmental activist, and Step It Up leader Bill McKibben, and got in line with a blue-clad Sea Of People to form two huge waves along Pearl and Church Streets, right where lower Manhattan tidelines will be if oceans rise the predicted 10 feet.

Step It Up included rallies in over 1,300 communities, and was the largest grassroots environmental protest since Earth Day 1970.
