Do you think the U.S. Government cares about Climate Change or using Renewable Energy?

Unfortunately the Fossil

Submitted by bluemarble on October 20, 2007 - 1:30am.

Unfortunately the Fossil Fuel Energy Industry has been more organized and had more money to give to political campaigns. I do not think it is a polical party issue. Otherwise, there would not be 150 new coal-fired power plants in planning stages at the present time in the U.S. This is a money problem. Politicians get money for their campaigns and when they elected, they owe people. What we need to find out is: Who is getting what from whom. If A CERTAIN CANDIDATE IS GETTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FROM COAL OR OIL ENERGY COMPANIES, THEN DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.

At least you would be helping make a better planet. www.bluemarble4us.com

New Coal Power Plants

Bravo on a terrifying link. It should also have mentioned that the USA is going to make 120 new coal-burning electric power plants, and now China is making a new coal-burning elelctric power plant every week! This does not bode well for the global warming problem!

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.
