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:
- 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.
Please join Deepak Chopra today in telling the 2008 presidential candidates to make solutions to global warming a top priority. 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,
[Your name]
