Two Smart Environmentalists Chatting About Work

Doing something that they probably couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams as environmentalists back in the 1990s, 350.org's Bill McKibben and Grist founder Chip Giller will be having a live web chat today at 3:00 p.m. Eastern. They'll be talking mostly about the upcoming 10/10/10 Global Work Parties:

Are you fed up with political leaders who've failed again and again and again to put us on a path toward climate sanity? Clearly, it's time to take matters into our own hands -- literally.

That's the idea behind the Global Work Party being organized by 350.org. On 10/10/10, people all around the world will gather in their communities to get things done. Politicians are invited to come and take notes.

Here's what we'll be asking: "Is it true that Bill was Chip's babysitter once upon a time?" (We heard through the environmental media grapevine.)
