Lots of global warming sites will suggest
that you drive less, ride your bike, or recycle. These are good things to do,
but the reality is that global warming will be stopped, not by changing light
bulbs, but by changing US government policy at the state and federal level.
So—here are the four best things you can do
with your dollars and hours!
1. Commit to working 40 hours over the
next year for a clean energy candidate in your state!

2. Invite your US Senator to come talk
about global warming with your community group, school, or faith group.

guide here.
3. Work in your state for renewable energy
or clean car legislation.

back!

Take the challenge!
Lessen the junk mail and catalogs coming to your house!
Combat the disinformation campaign about energy
and climate change
It is becoming more and more
clear that in order to combat the dis-information campaign
about energy and climate change, we need more Super Heroes!
If Oprah receives many letters it would strengthen the
chances that climate change would be a topic on her show.
Please write or email her a short note....thanks for
your care and action!

fossil fuels, and that creates air pollution and accelerates
global warming. It's a grim picture, but sources of

quality of our air.
