Day 79: Tackle Climate Change Today!

The following is a very important message that was passed on to me and that gives us all the tools with which we can make a massive difference.

Dear friend,

Thanks for making this commitment to do your part to end the climate
crisis. The more people sign the Live Earth Pledge, the closer we come
to building a sustainable world for future generations.

Help us take this message to every corner of the planet--forward the
pledge to everyone you know:

In hope,

Ben, Paul, Graziela, Ricken, Galit, Lee-Sean, Iain and the whole Avaaz
team

I 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.
