[Dialogue] Global Warming -- What You Can Do

[FacilitationFla at aol.com]

1.  See and show "Inconvenient Truth" film (buy the DVD on Nov. 21 its  
release date and do a workshop using the Audubon Energy handout -- see first URL  
below
 
2.  Convince City and County Mayors to sign on to Kyoto (232 cities  have 
done this already!)  and set up an Action Task Force -- to start  leveraging your 
State and finally the Federal government to move the US towards  being 
"carbon neutral" and fossil fuel independent (fossil fuels being the "root  cause" 
of the prob.)  (see what Seattle Mayor started on this and also  Portland's 
Action plan below.  (take one of these documents to your  mayor.
 
3.  Here are some good Resources to get started on the "Moral Issue"  of our 
time.
 
 
What You can  Do:  Low, Medium and High Cost Energy  Savings:  (a good 
handout that could  be used after a presentation, spurring individuals and families 
to create their  action plan and become “carbon neutral”
