Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

You have got to see this. The Civil Society Institute has unveiled www.CapeCodFlooding.org, an interactive website that shows the projected impact on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard of
a potential one-meter ocean level rise due to global warming.

The Flash-based web map includes close-up coastal flooding details for Hyannis, Truro and a total of four points on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. The mapping is based on the latest available and most detailed elevation information from MassGIS (Massachusetts Office of Geographic and Environmental Information).

The nonprofit and nonpartisan Civil Society Institute (http://www.CivilSocietyInstitute.org) is a Newton, Mass., based thinktank that serves as a catalyst for change by creating problem-solving interactions among people, and between communi ties, government and business that can help to improve society. CSI has conducted more than 15 major national and state-level surveys since 2003 on energy and global warming issues.

CSI is the parent organization of 40MPG.org (http://www.40MPG.org) and the Hybrid Owners of
America (http://www.HybridOwnersofAmerica.org). Along with grassroots organizations across the United States, the Civil Society Institute also is helping to initiate the national call to action at http://www.CleanEnergyAction.net.
