Global Warming is an environmental issue that is continuing to harm our planet. The definition of Global Warming is “the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century and its projected continuation” which means that if in the winter the snow melts faster than it snows then there has to be something wrong with Earth.
"Climate Change is real and it's happening right now. We don't have a lot of time. The good news is that the solution exist. What's missing is leadership. We need our leaders to make climate change a priority. But none of them can happen if they don't know you care. Join us. Together, we can solve the climate crisis."
We Can Help America Make the Switch
Climate change is occurring now, and is already affecting our natural environment, our national security and our quality of life. But, there are effective, achievable solutions for addressing the crisis. An important step is to repower America by producing 100 percent of our country's electricity from energy sources with zero carbon emissions -- within 10 years. Making this switch will generate millions of good American jobs, cut energy costs, safeguard national security, and protect the climate. We need business and government leaders at all levels to help adopt policies and practices now that will enable America to switch to energy sources with zero carbon emissions. We need policies that encourage energy efficiency, renewable energy, and a unified national electricity grid.
We can repower America in a short time frame. We put a man on the moon in just eight years. We quickly retooled our factories to produce tanks, trucks and airplanes for World War II. We mobilized for civil rights and women’s suffrage. We've done this before, and we can do it again.
What "We" Do
We can help solve the climate crisis. We can switch America’s electricity to energy sources with zero carbon emissions – within the next 10 years. To succeed at this challenge, political will and leadership are essential. The We campaign, over a million strong, is a network of people from all walks of life who are acting now to help America make the switch and solve the climate crisis.
1. We invite you to join us. The continued growth of We -- our goal is to have several million members early in 2009 -- will compel leaders to recognize the need to repower America.
2. We get organized to bring about the policy and political changes we need to to solve the climate crisis. Will you take responsibility for helping us get organized in your area? It may mean recruiting people to join you, hosting a meeting or event, organizing a training, and reporting back to us on how it went.
3. We act together to help America make the switch that will stop climate change. Repowering America means that individuals, elected officials, and business and community leaders must take bold action to quickly switch to clean energy, curbing carbon emissions and helping to solve the climate challenge. We campaign actions will help persuade these leaders to act effectively now. When you commit to take action through the We campaign, we will help you by providing regular action alerts with both on- and off-line requests that may include:
Contacting your Member of Congress or other government leaders about helping America make the switch to energy sources with zero carbon emissions – within the next 10 years.
Contacting business leaders to encourage them to help make the switch.
Writing letters to the editor or attending a press conference.
Organizing and running a local meeting about Repowering America.
Contacting targeted local citizens with a persuasive message on climate change and recruiting them to join We.
