This planet is really pretty, let's keep it!

I think it is a given that we all want to help our environment.  I also think that most of us try to be as green as possible in our everyday lives.

Global Warming is something that we must get under control.  Most experts say we are very near a tipping point and action is needed NOW.  If you didn’t know, important legislation will be coming before our elected officials when they come back in September.  We need to let them know that we want a strong bill and there are a lot of us out here that care about this issue.  These people tend to perk up there ears when a lot of people speak up.

I received this email from our friends at The Center for Biological Diversity.  It has a link for you to follow so you can sign a letter to our Senators in regard to Global Warming.  I know everyone is busy, but could you please take some time from your busy schedule to add your voice and your signature to this very important issue?  Believe me, this may be the most important issue of our time.

Here is the letter where you can follow the links:

Center for Biological Diversity

More than 300 organizations, including Public Citizen, Church World Service, the Indigenous Environmental Network, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, and many others have joined the Center for Biological Diversity in a letter to the Senate asking for a strong global warming bill.

Your enthusiasm indicates that, like us, you believe this is the most important bill of our time — and you believe that only a strong climate bill can help us avoid catastrophic global warming. Now we need your help making sure your senator takes note of our letter.

As you read this email, the Senate is finishing up work on a companion bill to the deeply flawed House legislation on global warming that is slated to be introduced in September when the Senate returns from recess. Our time to act is now.

During the week of August 31, 2009, people across the country will be personally delivering our letter to the local offices of their senators. We need your help to make as big an impact as we possibly can. Will you hand-deliver our letter? Email Rose Braz, our climate campaign coordinator, at rbraz@biologicaldiversity.org for more information.

Please take action by September 7, 2009.
