If You Want to Do One Thing on Earth Day:
CALL FOR CLIMATE!
Global warming is our most urgent environmental problem. Scientists tell us that the time for action is now or never. Yet Congress is weighing legislation that falls far short of what is needed, and will unfairly burden the poor and middle class.
For Earth Day 2008, join Earth Day Network in one of the largest Earth Day campaigns in US history, Call for Climate. Be one of nearly a million people who will phone Capitol Hill on Earth Day to call for tough and equitable national action on global warming. Put this number in your phone now!
Ask for your representative. Tell them the current global warming proposals in Congress are inadequate. Tell them you want:
A moratorium on new coal-burning plants,
Renewable energy,
Carbon-neutral buildings,
Protection for the poor and middle class in the new green economy.
Tell five friends about this campaign - have them enter the number into their phones now. Make sure they call on Earth Day, April 22nd.
Take action and sign Earth Day Network's Sky Petition.
Our elected leaders need to hear that climate change demands swift and strong action. The time for waiting and inadequate solutions is over.
This Earth Day, it's time to change the forecast for global warming. Climate change must rise to the top of the national agenda. On April 22th, Americans will be hearing our global warming message and we will be mobilizing support with our Call for Climate campaign.
