This petition is one in a series of initiatives that Georgetown University students, in light of the 2006 International Earth Day, have enacted. The petition itself will expand beyond Georgetown\'s borders and when finalized will be presented to the British Embassy in the United States where it will then be presented to J.K. Rowling herself. It\'s a small task, but if effective will make a huge difference!
