Our actions to help save the planet can extend well beyond our personal efforts. By continuing to learn about the state of the environment and our troubled Earth, and what is being done about it, we can inform and inspire others to action. We can bring awareness to our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces, and find ways to implement programs in these and other communities. Here are some additional actions:
1. Vote for and support politicians and candidates who show a record of environmental responsibility.
2. Lobby in support of programs and actions that advance global cooperation to protect our sacred planet.
3. Use your purchasing and investing power to send messages to those who abuse the environment and our planet.
4. Support environmental groups like PURPOSE - People United Rightly Protecting Our Sacred Earth, NRDC, Sierra Club, and Environmental Defense.
5. Share what you have learned with others... family, friends and collegues. Speak to wider audiences, write letters to editors and politicians, share this website, and share other forms of media on these important issues, like the movie "An Inconvenient Truth."

Many cities already have strong local policies and programs in place to reduce global warming pollution, but more action is needed at the local, state, and federal levels to meet the challenge. Under the Agreement, participating cities commit to take action.
When it comes to the environment and energy, 2006 will be remembered for sky-rocketing gas prices, record-high oil company profits, an acknowledgement by even President Bush that America is addicted to oil, the Alaska BP pipeline spill, and a widespread recognition that human activity is causing global warming to happen far more quickly than previously thought. Unfortunately, as the League of Conservation Voters 2006 National Environmental Scorecard reflects, Congress did virtually nothing to help solve these problems, with little hope for anything positive to emerge from an anticipated lame duck session.
