Join Deepak Chopra: Tell Presidential Candidates to Propose Real Global Warming Solutions!
It's about time American politicians stop paying lip service to global warming and start proposing real solutions!
Our 2008 presidential candidates will have to deal with the greatest environmental problem we have ever faced. As citizens of a country that is one of the world's biggest polluters, we must make sure that they don't just talk about it, but actually have a detailed plan for combating it.
An aggressive plan to combat global warming must include:

An aggressive plan to combat global warming must include:
- Imposing a cap on CO2 emissions across the country and sticking to it, without special rules for rich companies.
- Increasing fuel efficiency standards dramatically for commuter vehicles as well as commercial trucks.
- Cleaning up our current electric and other power plants.
- Investing in alternative, cleaner energies such as wind power, and providing incentives for companies who develop and use these technologies.

We need to ban the old lightbulbs, make solar power affordable (free if possible) to all new construction. Also I noticed just last night that police cars keep their motors running while they are outside the vehicle and last night it was well over an hour.

Being green is easy. I do it for all of us. If you want to run the country, shouldn't you do the same?

Help! In case you didn't recognize it, that was the earth, begging you to stop global warming. And please don't say our efforts don't mean anything because China is canceling out the good that we do. If we take the lead, maybe we can change minds in other countries, including China.

There is probably no more pressing and important issue. Let's try to focus on big thoughts, rather than whether someone shows cleavage or immigrants drive legally or not!

Any INDEPENDENT thinker can see effects we have made on the environment go beyond the normal long cycles of nature with respect to warming and cooling. There are things we must do to slow or attempt to reverse these terrible changes. Please, political leaders. this is not a special interest situation. This is We Are All In It Together, everybody on the planet. Take action against global warming while we still have the chance.

It's time to get serious about real problems and not the fake fear that has been pedaled for the past 7 years. We must stop killing our planet and that means working together with every country on the planet. Thanks Deepak for taking the lead!
