From the Sierra Club:Sacrificing America’s shoreline is not what will bring down - and keep down - energy prices. Offshore drilling won’t help American families struggling with prices at the pump, but it will be a billion dollar giveaway to Big Oil. Instead of drilling off our coasts, Congress could be raising the fuel economy of our cars, encouraging the use of renewable energy like wind and solar power, and adopting other, existing energy-saving technologies that cut pollution, curb global warming and create good jobs.Tell the Senate to protect our coasts and to fight for energy solutions that will save American families money and cure our oil addiction!

World’s largest laundry runs on Solar Power, not becuase the owner is a tree-hugging environmentalist, but because Solar Power makes economic AND environmental sense.
Tom Benson, the laundry’s owner, wants to be able to pass on to his kids a thriving business in a thriving world.

Today, we present a few letter writing campaigns that can use your support. They come to us via the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of America’s effective environmental nonprofit organizations.
Tell Congress to get serious about ending America’s addiction to oil
Besides causing gas prices to soar, America’s oil addiction is sapping our nation’s economic strength, threatening our national security and exacerbating global warming. Urge Congress to help pass oil savings legislation and put us on a clean path to oil independence.
Speak out to support clean, affordable wind energy.
The Long Island Offshore Wind Project would produce pollution-free energy and reduce the area’s dependence on oil and natural gas. Urge officials to conduct a thorough environmental review of the project and make offshore wind energy a reality on Long Island.
California: Urge your state legislators to put a lid on global warming pollution in California
California residents only. The California legislature has until August 31st to pass AB 32, which would help the state curb its global warming pollution and spur economic growth. Urge your state assemblymember and senator to support this important bill.
