KALAMAZOO -- Kalamazoo College, the Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center, Western Michigan University and other local
institutions are participating in "Focus the Nation," an educational initiative designed to teach citizens about climate change.
More than 1,500 groups nationwide are expected to host events on global warming. Eban Goodstein, of Portland, Ore., who
started the effort, describes Focus the Nation as the largest teach-in America has seen.
