Today, Speaker Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and thousands of people around the world signed Al Gore’s Live Earth Pledge. The pledge calls on individuals to fight the global climate crisis at home and at work.
The Live Earth Pledge was created in conjunction with the Live Earth concerts taking place in Johannesburg, London, New Jersey, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo on July 7, 2007. You can find out more about the concerts at www.liveearth.org.
Do your part, sign the pledge today.
1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral;”
3. To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
4. To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5. To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
6. To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
7. To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
Here in San Francisco, Mayor Newsom and the people of San Francisco have led the way in combating global warming. We lead the world in recycling. Solar power? Yes. Hybrid fuel vehicles. Of course.
Join us and sign the pledge.
