We can stop global warming !
Here's what you can do today...
Here's what you can do today...
Switch to clean electricity in 10 minutes...
Coal-fired electricity generation is the single largest cause of global warming. 60% of
America's electricity is made by burning coal. But you don't have to buy it. In just a few
minutes you can switch to pollution-free, renewable electricity made from wind, solar
and other clean sources. This might be the most important step you can take to stop
global warming right now. Clean electricity costs a little more than electricity made from
dirty coal, but what is the cost of polluting our planet and global warming? Go green
today, and you'll feel better when you flip the switch tomorrow. You are just one click
away. Philadelphia Area Sources of Clean Electricity:

Change a light bulb, Change the world...
Regular old light bulbs are so low tech and inefficient ! They are wasting your money and their
electrical consumption is a major cause of global warming. Switch to these compact fluorescent
lights and you will reduce your energy bills and help stop global warming. Compact fluorescent
lights use 75% LESS electricity than those old-fashioned light bulbs. And they last about 13 times
longer, so you won't be buying and changing bulbs so often. FACT: If every home in America
changed JUST ONE of their lights to compact fluorescent, it would reduce global warming gas
emissions by the same amount as taking 1.5 MILLION cars off the road. Each compact fluorescent
bulb will save you $30 - $50 in electricity and bulb costs. Widely available at home center and
hardware stores, just screw them into regular lamp sockets, enjoy for years, recycle when finished.

Offset your emissions right now... with TerraPass
In the next 10 minutes, you can take the bold action of offsetting nearly all of the
greenhouse gases caused by your home and lifestyle. They're called carbon offsets
because you pay money to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects like windmills,
solar power, and other forms of pollution-free energy that will offset the CO2 you cause
with your cars, home energy and air travel. It's so easy, you'll feel better fast ! Of
course, we still need to directly reduce the greenhouse gases we are causing, but this
is a great way to start. Be sure to display your pass and sticker on your vehicle so
others will get the right idea.

Inflated tires save energy & reduce emissions...
"Imagine you found a way to fairly effortlessly save 3 Billion gallons of gas, $7.6 Billion,
and reduce 52 billion lbs of CO2. You would be pretty happy right?" Well, according to
TerraPass founder Tom Arnold, that's a rough calculation of what could happen if every
car in America had properly inflated tires. Squooshie tires don't roll as easily as properly
inflated tires so they use more energy.Properly inflated tires also last longer and they're
safer because they handle better. Make it a habit to check your tires once each month.

Sometimes simple actions, like a quick email to your Congressman about a pending
bill, can be extremely effective. I look for these opportunities as I monitor the issues of
energy and global warming. When I find something really worthwhile, I will send an
Action Alert to let you know. If you choose to act on an alert, It usually takes just a few
seconds and a couple of clicks.
