Ever see an ACE Educator dunk with an NBA Champ? Me neither… until now! LA Lead Educator Ethan Burke stopped by former LA Laker Jordan Farmar’s Summer Camp – “Hoop Farm” – to give a presentation and shoots some hoops with the champ.

By Ashlee Jensen, ACE National Action Team Coordinator
Today, I want to tell you about some changes to our Student Action Program. Change can be overwhelming but ACE’s improved program is something I’m pretty sure we all can believe in!

Joe was in search of an answer to some climate questions and hoped the citizens of Oakland could lend him a hand.
Here’s what he saw:

ACE Northeast rocks out w/ DMB
August 12th, 2010 by Alan
This summer, ACE Northeast hooked up with Reverb to collect DOTs from fans rocking out to Dave Mathews Band and Yonder Mountain String Band in Massachusetts. Almost everyone we talked with was more than ready to take steps to help the environment and cool the climate.
In less than 2 hours Rouwenna and I collected 100 DOTs! Here’s what we saw…

Signs of a changing climate
August 11th, 2010 by Alisha
Last Thursday a giant ice island broke off of the Petermann Glacier in Greenland.
Now, this “ice island” is ginormous — scientists say it’s 4 times the size of New York City, easily, and contains enough fresh water to keep the Hudson River flowing for two years…

Bike Technology is Delicious
August 10th, 2010 by Alan
At the 4th annual Youth Climate Action Network (Youth CAN) Summit at MIT, hosted by the climate superstars at the Boston Latin School, ACE Northeast ran into our local partner Bikes not Bombs.
And I want to pause for a second to show you some of Bikes Not Bombs’ sweetest projects – from their Earn-a-Bike program where youth build their own bikes and learn all about bike mechanics, safety, and environmental issues (talk about a marketable skill!), to their international program that’s shipped over 40,000 bikes to Central America, the Caribbean and Africa over the past 25 years.

Gulf oil disaster update: people, wildlife, how to help
August 2nd, 2010 by Alisha
BP says they are close to permanently sealing off the well 5,000 feet beneath the ocean that is leaking millions of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. But, “close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades” – so we’ll wait for final confirmation before we take that one to the bank.
What we do want to do, though, is give you an update on where the wildlife and people in the Gulf are at, more than 100 days since the disaster began back in April…
