Greenpeace event this weekend...

Greenpeace event at Carlin Park, Jupiter Florida

Lauren Thorpe is really trying hard to motivate Floridians towards Alternative Energy in Florida.

While her campaign is political specific, she addresses the larger need to fix our Energy crisis with Green Energy sources.

EarthRehab will be at this Greenpeace event, and assist with their aerial art project, it should be fun.-if your going to the beach anyway, stop by for this large format photo shoot.


A Message from the flyer and Lauren Thorpe.
“With just a few weeks until the 2008 elections, we must send a clear message that this November 4th, we will be voting for candidates who will fight for real solutions to global warming like clean, renewable energy. Join hundreds of other climate activists and participate in a powerful aerial art message to the candidates for Congress Tim Mahoney and Tom Rooney– and voters everywhere – we want CLEAN ENERGY NOW!!”
