RELI’s E.D. Selected for Al Gore’s Climate Change Training

Gordian Raacke Goes to ‘Climate Change Messenger’ Training Camp

[Bridgehampton, Long Island, NY] The Executive Director of Long Island’s clean energy advocacy group, Renewable Energy Long Island (RELI), has been chosen to join former Vice President Al Gore in Nashville in January to train as a ‘Climate Change Messenger’.

“I’m thrilled to have been selected and look forward to go to what promises to be an intensive climate change ‘training camp’,” said Gordian Raacke, RELI’s Executive Director. “Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge we face in this Century and it is time to roll up our sleeves to tackle this problem with clean, renewable energy choices.”

The climate change training is organized by The Climate Project led by Al Gore in an effort to educate and challenge citizens, and governments into action against the growing crisis of global warming.

The Climate Project invited selected people to Nashville, TN and Sydney, Australia to train them to become lecturers who will present the information contained in Al Gore’s documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’.

Mr. Raacke will attend the Nashville session January 4 – 6 along with four other Long Islanders. The lecturers have agreed to disseminate the information to audiences across America and Mr. Raacke will give his Climate Change talks throughout 2007 to audiences all over Long Island. All talks will be free of charge.

Presentations can be scheduled by sending an e-mail request to RELI@optonline.net
