NWF's favorite race car driver, Leilani Munter, is heading to Hawaii with the Conservation Council for Hawaii (CCH) to spread the word about global warming.  You may have seen Leilani at last year's NWF annual meeting, or seen her with NWF lobbying the halls of Congress for climate action, or maybe you just know her for her skills in the Indy Pro Series.  Either way, Leilani is making her cause known, and is promoting a carbon-neutral life on and off the track (see www.carbonfreegirl.com).  Leilani purchases an acre of rainforest for every race she runs, and spends much of her time off the track teaching fans of racing how to live a life that she promotes in her motto:  "Life is short. Race hard. Live green."

Leilani's mother is from Kona, Hawaii, so she is excited be back on the islands to spread the word.  On Saturday, Nov. 15, Leilani will be appear at auto racing and performance shops in Oahu to speak to fans about living green and will handout race cards and autographs.  On Sunday, they are hoping to do a scuba fundraiser with some local dive shops.  On Monday, Nov. 17, CCH is planning a big public event with Leilani at the Hawaii State Capitol auditorium.  Leilani and others will be speaking about global warming, and the public can go away with some great door prizes and autographed racing cards.  If you have friends in Hawaii, they don't want to miss this!  And if you're not in Hawaii, start living green yourself by taking NWF's Good Neighbor Pledge.  Leilani says so (www.nwf.org/gnleilani/)!
