Bring Renewable Energy to Native American Reservations

Target: You, your friends and family
Sponsored by: Trees, Water & People

Tribal reservation lands occupy some of the harshest landscapes in the United States. Temperatures can range from over 110° F in the summer to -60° F in the winter. Heating homes in this climate is difficult and expensive even under the best circumstances. But for tribal families in reservation communities with poorly built houses, it can be an insurmountable challenge.

Many families rely on wood stoves, which pollute the environment, to heat their homes because propane, kerosene, electricity, and natural gas are often prohibitively expensive or non-existent.

President Obama proclaimed October 2009 as National Energy Awareness Month. Right now, Trees, Water & People's Tribal Lands Renewable Energy Program is working to provide sustainable, economically beneficial and environmentally sound energy solutions to Native Americans living on reservations.

Join the virtual march of people by pledging your support for the use of safe, sustainable heating systems and new energy solutions for Native Americans on reservations.

It makes sense to use what is available and renewable. Energy use now is polluting-with solar, wind and water energy we can cut pollution and provide a comfortable environment.

Alternative energy production on Native lands is almost a no-brainer. It not only should solve their energy needs, but be a national distributer of safe energy to the rest of the United States. This reverses the punitive and abusive policies of the past that stole mineral rights from tribes, leaving them only the sun and the wind. Well, the time has come for these basic resources to restore the wealth and well-being of native communties

This should not even be an issue. I shouldn't have to sign a petition for this. We need involve everyone in energy efficiency and conservation. Our government should be stricter on these issues and we can start with mass conservation a lot sooner than propsed. It should be easier to conserve energy and utilize renewable resources than to waste it.

Everybody needs acess to renewable energy. Trying to cool a house when it is over 100 degrees outside is very hard. I know by experience! I can't even believe not being able to run an airconditioning system in the summer. I would die. There is no way to excape the heat!
