The Environmental Dummy is an offshoot of my establishment of the Green Train Project (www.greentrainglobal.org), a 10-week, 28-state concert series that promotes environmental awareness with the help of an A-list group of musicians, athletes, artists, writers, personalities, and media professionals. Using this whistle-stop tour and this blog, inspired by the political campaigns of previous presidents, I’m hoping to teach and inspire people to use the simple, everyday strategies that will help reduce our carbon footprint. Led by a biodiesel, solar-powered train, this concert series starts April 2010 in Portland, Oregon and ends, appropriately, in our nation’s capital.
