"There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it."


I just came across this quote but unfortunately the author was not cited. Nevertheless, it opened my eyes even more than they already were to the need for clean air, clean water and a clean Earth. In some way, we are all contributing to the pollution of those necessary life-giving elements, but we can reduce our negative impact with a little effort and a lot of voice.

If you are reading this then you have access to the greatest source of information in the world and that is the internet. There are hundreds of websites that address pollution, clean energy and "living green".

Humans are responsible for the extreme weather patterns brought on by climate change largely in part to our reliance on fossil fuels that produce heat-trapping gases. The gases warm the Earth, which warms the water causing the polar ice caps to melt. Warmer waters force cold water species further north reducing a valuable food supply.

An increase in wildfires in the last decade is largely attributed to global warming,
"A warming climate encourages wildfires through a longer summer period that dries fuels, promoting easier ignition and faster spread."

It's a 2 for 1 deal...push for clean energy legislation and create jobs in "green technology" Someone has to do it...why not you. Hand-write a letter to your Senator so they know you are serious. Please do it today and REPOWER AMERICA.
