Aspen Skiing Co. Aims to Turn Skiers into Climate Change Activists

Aspen Skiing Company recently unrolled a new activism campaign, called Give A Flake, which invites skiers and non-skiers alike to speak out against climate change inaction, with the launch of a variety of online tools that help activists easily contact their elected officials.

However you lean, with a click of a button on the Give A Flake website, you can find out how the elected officials in your area stand on climate change. Then, via Twitter, users can tweet at their local leaders with images and statements that Aspen Skiing Co. has already curated.

The campaign also provides a simple online form that activists can quickly fill out to get through to the phones of both supporters and deniers of climate change.

You can also print off and mail a letter to your elected official, or even make a donation to Protect Our Winters.

Aspen Skiing Co. also has plans to unveil a similar campaign and strategy that will target social equality and LGBTQI rights in America.

OK, they will grease each other up, jump in a hot tub and pass diseases.

You have to get into it as a kid as I did. Skied for years until military then full time employment hit me.

Now that I'm retired, can't even consider taking it up again even locally here in S.E. Michigan.......too expensive.

Its takes a s**t ton of fossil-based energy to deliver skiers to Aspen’s lift lines.

To be true to the cause, they should convert the lifts to pedal power.

When I see Disney World covered in 3 feet of snow with high temps in the 20s, I might worry about Globull Warming, but until then, I’m not worried...
