Following is the out-dated 2008 post:
Earth Day is right around the corner - April 22nd! Here are the links and information you will need to celebrate Earth Day 2008 in San Francisco.
But first ...
In the next few weeks, take a minute and Call for the Climate! Let our leaders know if they want to keep their jobs, they have to do something, something big and bold, to solve climate change. What should you ask them to do?

Take these ideas from the Live Earth Pledge:
-
Demand that our country join an international treaty within the next two 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;
-
Ask them 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;
-
Tell them to work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of homes, workplaces, schools, places of worship, and means of transportation;
-
Encourage them to pass laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
Make a couple of phone calls ...

White House - 202.456.1111
-
Capitol Hill (our Capitol Hill Operators are really helpful, don't be afraid to call and ask for your Member of Congress) 202.224.3121
