Summer Global Warming Petition
Take our...
*Dog Dayz of Summer Global Warming Petition Challenge*
Some 325,000 people have signed our Emissions Petition demanding congressional action to undo global warming. But more signatures are needed. Why?
* As the dog days of summer send senators home for summer recess, the congressional session concludes without another hoped-for vote on the Climate Stewardship Act. To keep the heat, let's let senators know this hot issue is important to Americans. One million signatures send a powerfully heated message.
* With the presidential election gearing up and the Democratic and Republican Party conventions nearly upon us, we have another opportunity to turn up the HEAT on the presidential candidates. As a Pentagon-commissioned report revealed earlier this year, global warming is not just an "environmental" issue; it is an immensely important geo-political issue with national security ramifications.

How can you help?
Take our Dog Dayz of Summer Global Warming Petition Challenge: Help Environmental Defense get at least 25,000 new Emissions Petition signatures before the summer is out. Our goal is to have a total of at least 350,000 signers before Congress gets back to work on September 7th.
1) Send Ecards:
When tanning by the glow of your computer screen, stay cool by e-mailing your friends and family Undo Global Warming postcards. It's quick and easy, and if you get enough points, we'll send you a free earth-friendly global warming T-shirt. Find out how:

2) Post Some Flyers:
Download Undo Global Warming pull-tab flyers and post them to lampposts and telephone poles, bulletin boards in your neighborhood laundromat, your favorite bookstore, at the gym ...anywhere. Check out our flyers (pdf):

3) Face to Face Petitioning:
As you troll through this summer's wide array of fun events in your area -- fairs, concerts, 10k runs, festivals, etc., -- you'll be in prime areas for petitioning. Print out copies of the Emissions Petition and bring it with you to these events and see how many like-minded, ("cool") people you can meet in the process. Download petitions here:

What Else You Can Do While Your Senators Are out of the Beltway:
With senators home during the August recess, you have a unique opportunity to turn up the local home-state grassroots pressure. Here are a couple things you can do to express your support for the Climate Stewardship Act.
1) Call Senators' State Offices: Visit the Senate's web site
( http://actionnetwork.org/ct/V7aYwHs1_aUR/ ) for your senators'
state office phone numbers and ring them up. Let them know how you feel about global warming and the Climate Stewardship Act.
2) Write a letter to the editor of your local paper: Voicing your opinion is a great way to raise awareness of the global warming issue. Write your own or find sample letters online:
http://actionnetwork.org/ct/C7aYwHs1_aUG/
3) Schedule a meeting: Set up a meeting with your senators or representative. Interested? Email us at
