Counter Climate Crisis - Take the Pledge

Dear Senator {Name},

Global warming affects our entire planet, but it has particular impact on the delicate polar regions of the world. The effects of global warming are accelerating and ever more noticeable along the ocean shores, in arctic lands, on glaciers, and alpine plants. As a community we need to address this problem.

Today I am joining over 100,000 people in taking the following pledge to do my part to prevent a world-wide climate crisis.
“I pledge to take steps with Greenpeace to fight global warming
and call on President Bush, world leaders, Congress, and my
community to join the fight.”


I appeal to you - do what you can to fight global warming. Protect our families. Protect our future. Protect our planet.

We know the source of the climate crisis: our greenhouse gas emissions are at unsustainable levels. Higher temperatures threaten to radically alter the planet by great incidences of drought, disease and floods, as well as the loss of many endangered species. Amid the threat from rising oceans and extreme weather, global warming’s effects have already begun.

But we have solutions that are available to us. The source of the problem is the heat-trapping gases from power plants and vehicles. We must limit these greenhouse gas emissions. We must provide strong incentives for renewable sources of energy. We must become a more energy efficient nation. And we must do it without investing in unsafe, costly technologies such as nuclear power plants.

Please join with us in preventing a climate crisis.

Sincerely,

{Name}
