 ~About the Awardees~\nU.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen (MD-8th Dist) has achieved
  many clean energy successes in his six years in Congress. He is co-chair o
 f the House Renewable Energy and Efficiency Caucus. He led the fight for es
 tablishing a “Green Bank” within the recent economic stimulus package. And 
 in April he introduced the historic and much-praised climate bill called “T
 he Cap and Dividend Act of 2009.”\n \nState Senator Paul Pinsky (Dist. 22) 
 and Delegate Kumar Barve (Dist. 17)\, meanwhile\, were lead sponsors this y
 ear of the strongest climate bill ever passed by a U.S. state: the Greenhou
 se Gas Emissions Reduction Act of Maryland.\nCouncil Member George Leventha
 l has achieved many clean energy successes in his six years on the Montgome
 ry County Council. He pioneered the campaign to switch county government bu
 ildings -- including schools -- to 10 percent wind power. He launched the "
 Clean Energy Reward" program for Montgomery County residential purchasers o
 f clean energy. And he has been an unshakeable leader in the fight for the 
 Purple Line light rail system in the county.\n \nBetsy Taylor and Ted and J
 ennifer Stanley have dedicated much of their remarkable careers to advocati
 ng for social justice and environmental stewardship. Without their support\
 , CCAN would never have achieved its landmark successes across the region.\

 ATED TO ABOVE – except it is about Climate\n\nFrom Franny Alexander\, direc
 tor of the movie\, AgeofStupid.org\, about looking back from climate destro
 yed world of 2055 at the destructive traits of the present day: Ha ha\, Age
 ofStupid just got our worst review of all time - actually\, maybe anybody's
  worst review of all time: http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/art
 icle/6359/ \n\nGreen Movie Investors? Speaking of cash\, if anyone would li
 ke to own a piece of the Stupid pie\, we have 8.5 shares of 10K left from R
 ound 4 (or is it 5?). Investing details here: http://www.ageofstupid.net/mo
 ney \n\nwww.ageofstupid.org \nwww.notstupid.org \n\n- Shell is in court in 
 New York for complicity in the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. As you no doubt 
 remember\, Saro-Wiwa was the environmental activist and Ogoni leader who le
 d a campaign against the environmental devastation wreaked upon the Niger D
 elta (as featured in Layefa's story in Age of Stupid) in the '90s\, as a re
 sult of which he was hanged\, along with eight of his colleagues\, in 1995.
  For more info\, including how you can get involved in various actions this
  week\, see: www.shellguilty.org and http://remembersarowiwa.com/ \n\nAge o
 f Stupid’s super-cool UK distributors\, Dogwoof\, are launching their new f
 ilm about over-fishing\, The End of the Line. Apparently there's going to b
 e no fish by 2048\, which is not just a wee problem for hungry humans but\,
  obviously\, for all the ocean's ecosystems (even before we get into climat
 e change heating the water\, killing the coral...). \n\nhttp://www.dogwoof.

  show all about climate change\, which is archived neatly online: www.clima
