On Saturday, June 26th, thousands of citizens, businesses and organizations across the nation will unite under the banner of “Hands Across the Sand” to demonstrate their objection to dangerous offshore drilling and to call for a renewable energy policy at the state and Federal levels. Hands participants will stand up for our environment, our economy, and a new energy future by joining hands around the country.
According to Dave Rauschkolb, coastal restaurant owner from north Florida and the man behind this grassroots initiative: “Now is the time for America and our leaders to join hands and steer our country’s energy policy away from our dependence on fossil fuels and into the light of clean energy and renewables.”
