Fw: 100 Hours to a Clean Energy Future

[Guest guest]

National Wildlife Federation

[for US Residents]

 

 

What will Congress do to stop global warming in their

First 100 Hours?

 

A new era is beginning in Washington--and it's time for us to step up. The

National Wildlife Federation has launched a petition asking Congress to take

action on the most important issue facing America's wildlife today--global

warming.

 

Sign our petition and ask Congress to act on this critical issue in the

first 100 hours:

Congress has committed to making sweeping changes as its new term begins.

Make sure our leaders do not ignore the threat of global warming and tell

Congress to cut back oil subsidies and invest in cleaner, renewable energy

sources.

 

If every NWF member signs our petition and forwards it on to their friends

and family, we can make a difference in protecting our nation's wildlife

from the threat of global warming.

Burning fossil fuels like oil and gas is the leading cause of global warming

pollution; yet the United States continues to give away billions of tax

dollars to Big Oil. These companies will avoid paying royalties on more than

$65 billion worth of revenues over the next five years, costing the federal

government approximately $9.5 billion.

 

We have a choice: Let the world's biggest oil companies continue to expand

their profits ($207 billion in the past two years) at the expense of

consumers and the environment OR take the first important step toward

stopping global warming.

 

Please sign the petition and forward it on to your friends and family:

to protect wildlife for our children's future.
