You can make a difference TODAY, on Care2 :: Hello

Pene Evenger,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For generations, children have been threatened with

coal in their stocking for being naughty — but giving

kids coal-fired power plants is a punishment that can

last 40 years or more.

 

Today, coal provides about half of our nation's

electricity — at great cost to our health, land,

water, and climate. Coal power is currently America's

single biggest source of global warming pollution and

brain-damaging mercury emissions. In addition, coal

mining pollutes our drinking water and is an extremely

dangerous occupation.

 

Stand up for your health and the health of our

earth!Tell Congress NO to more coal-fired power

plants!

 

Utilities across the country are pushing to build more

than 150 new coal-fired power plants. Most of these

plants would use old " pulverized coal "

technology—designed to last at least 40-50 years. But

it's not too late to tell Congress our kids deserve

better than coal.

 

This holiday season, ask your members of Congress to

start the new year fresh by promoting energy

efficiency and clean, renewable sources of electricity

like wind and

solar.http://go.care2.com/e/R3lS/Bx_t/EYB.

 

 

Thanks for making a difference today!
