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.

I want to hear that you will fully commit to doing everything experts recommend that our country can do and not just what you think we should do.

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, Jenny d'Obrenan Edmonton, Alberta Canada

I want to hear about a 21st C. NEW DEAL that taxes obscenely wealthy corporations as much as is necessary to convert ALL of our energy resources to Green Energy AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

I am a Canadian but a concerned one as we share continents with yourselves. We are attempting the same changes up here and we fully support those changes down there as well. Corporate seems to think they will loose money to do this but actually they could make a great lucrative business (if they want) out of renewable and reusable sources of energy. Lets hope we all come to that realization for our children

a good start would be to have a big windfall tax that the energy and oil companies would pay, so this country can make a huge move toward solar and wind power. we need to do something now to help ourselves, our children and the people of poor countires.

Although I'm a citizen of the UK I feel that the USA needs to pay more attention to it's 'carbon footprint'. Which so far I feel it has failed to do.
