Help No Impact Man Fight Global Warming

Colin Beaven, also known as No Impact Man, aims to make an impact that will help the planet: he’s meeting with his representative to push a plan for an effective global warming mitigation policy and he needs your help. All you have to do is cut and paste the text he’s written into an email and send it to him so he can serve them all up to Representative Nadler. It will only take a minute of your time, and you might just win a copy of Morgan Spurlock’s ‘What Would Jesus Buy’ DVD.

Colin explains the policy he’s urging:

• Introduce, as soon as possible, a non-binding resolution to the House of Representatives asserting that we need a climate change mitigation policy with a goal of no more than 350 ppm of atmospheric carbon dioxide (read why here). Furthermore, the resolution should say that the United States must collaborate with the international community to achieve an effective successor to the Kyoto Protocol that will achieve the 350 goal or better (depending on how the science progresses).
• Pledge to support the 1sky.org policy platform that also includes creating five million green jobs (through, for example, weatherizing our buildings and manufacturing solar panels and windmills), and placing a moratorium on the building of new coal power plants.
• Pass on to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a letter addressed jointly to her and Representative Nadler, in his position as Assistant Whip, asking them both to push for the introduction of new and the strengthening of currently pending climate change legislation to reflect the crucial 350 goal. This means, at the very least, aiming for an 80% reduction in climate emissions below 1990 levels by 2050 and a 25% reduction by 2020.

Help him reach his goal of 3,500 emails! Visit No Impact Man for more information, and be sure to pass this post along to your friends to get them to send one, too.
