Live Earth - Sign the Pledge

Tomorrow is the worldwide concert event known as Live Earth. While I am personally a little skeptical of the lasting effect this sort of event has, and am concerned about the environmental impact of such a huge production, I think it deserves our support.

We can do that by signing - and honoring - the seven-point pledge.

Sign the pledge, enjoy the concerts, and let's all do our share to fight global warming!

The Seven-Point Pledge:
1.To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
2.To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"
3.To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
4.To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5.To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
6.To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
7.To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
