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:
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:
- 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.

Dear presidential candidate, I stand with Deepak Chopra in urging you to make global warming a priority for your campaign. I want to know that you have a detailed and aggressive plan to combat global warming, and will follow through with this plan. This plan must include, among other things: 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. As citizens of a country that is one of the world's biggest polluters, we must step up now. If we don't, the consequences will be devastating. Sincerely, Reverend Coral Shaull

It takes a courageous and inspiring President to tell the country that we need to make sacrifices and think of the future of coming generations on this earthly home. Please be the first in a long long while to do just that.

One planet for us, and hopefully, the numerous generations to come, deserve our best offers to maintain it, and preserve it's fullness of beautiful for all those yet to experience it. If we truly care about those who come after us, then we need to put more effort in the proof. The effects of global warming needs proof that its not only being discussed, but that its being dealt with. Please, I am desperately requesting less talk and more substantive action, in solving global warming. Show future generations you really have their best interests at heart. |

Please be specific about your plans and get the backing you need from the ground level up. We, the people, our world, are in serious trouble and MUST begin NOW to alter how we live if life is going to be all it can be on this great Planet Earth.

The last decade has seen many backslides in the progess of global warming from logging to increased drilling in the arctic. These issues need to be readdressed as well as imposing caps on CO2 emissions, increased fuel efficiency, alternative cleaner energies, etc. What about tax incentives for those households who utilize solar energy or other types of clean energy? There is no easy one-stop solution, but seeing this being addressed from many sides would be a great start. Warm regards, |

I would really love to see some progress made in the solar and air energy we could be using in the US. It is the most important thing we could be doing right now, I think.

I agree that we should be taking action on what Al Gore has been educating everyone on global warning. This is a worldly problem and should be confronted now before it is to late like everything else that is being left to the last moment. ACTION speaks not just talk. Thanks
