Cool off with free ice cream!

Hat tip, DCist: Get Free Ice Cream With A Side Of Climate Change Sadness

Cool off with free ice cream!

Support the EPA’s Clean Power Plan in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Denver, and Pittsburgh
Climate change means our summers are getting too hot. But that doesn’t mean you need to melt on the streets all alone. Next week, you can join us and take action to protect our climate … and cool down with free Ben & Jerry’s!

From July 29-31, the EPA will hear from the public on the proposed Clean Power Plan – which attempts to address the biggest source of harmful carbon pollution in the United States: power plants.

These hearings are so important that we’re posting up in crowded spots all over Denver for two days with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream trucks re-commissioned as mobile action centers to raise awareness, gather support, and best of all, pass out free scoops of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

See below for event details, and follow @ClimateReality for up-to-the-minute truck locations. Then click here to RSVP and we'll have a free #ImTooHot sticker waiting for you at your location.
