Oscar's, Global Warming, & Rallying
Last night the Oscar’s went green in several different ways. Thanks to our friends at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Leonardo DiCaprio, and former Vice President Al Gore this year's Oscar producers implemented Earth friendly practices to do their part to curb global warming pollutants. According to NRDC:
“This innovative project, which will be further enhanced at Oscar events in years to come, targeted ecologically significant impacts, including global warming pollution and energy use, paper products, set design, transportation, and food service.”
The night got even greener when “An Inconvenient Truth” took home Oscar’s for Best Documentary and Original Song for Melissa Etheridge's "I Need to Wake Up."
"People all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis. It's not a political issue. It's a moral issue," said Al Gore.
You can join the growing number of people taking action in their personal life by participating in the National Day of Action on Global Warming. Come rally at the North Carolina State Capital from 1:00pm-4:00 pm on Saturday, April 14th.
Join Environmental Defense, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Interfaith Power & Light, SURGE, NC WARN, NC Conservation Network, Environment NC, and the Sierra Club as we stand up together to curb the impact of global warming. As Melissa Etherige said,
"... caring about the earth is not Republican or Democrat, it's not red or blue. It's all green."
Have you made changes in your daily life to reduce your carbon dioxide emissions? If so, what are they? If not, why not?
