About Race to Stop Global Warming
The first Race to Stop Global Warming, held in Portland, Oregon on April 22nd, 2000 highlighted the 30th anniversary of Earth Day and began the race series' theme of bringing attention to the need for a rapid transition to a clean energy future.
Race to Stop Global Warming is an innovative response to the critically important challenge of increasing energy and climate change education. Race to Stop Global Warming brings visibility to the issue of global warming while providing participants with the information and practical solutions for how they can reduce their impact on the planet.
"A San Francisco Race to Stop Global Warming is another important step the Bay Area can take to address the most critical issue humanity faces." said Randy Hayes, Honorary Event Chair and founder of Rainforest Action Network.
"Forests are home for the black leopard, the red howler monkey, and other incredible wildlife. Forests help stabilize the Earth's climate. Forests protect watersheds, and maintain soil productivity. We cannot save rainforests without arresting climate change. We must make change now if we are to save these majestic forests. It is a strategy that just might save us as well. Get ready to run!"
