Global warming activist Laurie David and Grammy Award winning singer-song writer Sheryl Crow will kick off the Stop Global Warming College Tour in Dallas, TX to urge college students to become part of the movement to stop global warming and demand solutions from themselves, their schools and their country.

During the two-week tour, college students, university leaders, faculty and staff will be encouraged to join the Stop Global Warming Virtual March and have their voice counted as the bus rolls through their campus. Over 675,000 individual marchers from all 50 states have joined the virtual march to acknowledge that the U.S. is feeling the impact of global warming right now and to demand solutions to the problem.

"History proves that college students have the ability to be the driving force in large-scale social change and now -- more than ever -- is the time for students across the country to become global warming activists," said Laurie David, founder of stopglobalwarming.org and author of Stop Global Warming: The Solution is You!
