Live
Earth Pledge
I Pledge:
1. To demand that my country join an international treaty
within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in
developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next
generation to inherit a healthy earth;
2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing
my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become
“carbon neutral”;
3. To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating
facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store
the CO2;
4. To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home,
workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5. To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable
energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
6. To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and
protecting forests; and,
7. To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment
to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and
prosperous world for the 21st century.
