It is easy for us to forget about how much garbage we produce because once a week the truck comes along, sweeps up that trash and whisks it away to a landfill out of sight and smell... Go to: www.wecansolveit.org

"We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity,"

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr(born March 31, 1948), environmental activist, author and former journalist first served in the U. S. House of Representatives (1977–85) and later in the U. S. Senate (1985–93) (representing Tennessee) before becoming the forty-fifth Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton.

Gore, 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner (together with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) for "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change" calls for a move towards replacing our dependence on "carbon-based fuels" with Green energy, renewable sources which do not produce pollutants, e.g. solar, wind and wave energies.

Barack Obama, Democratic presidential nominee says: "Global warming is an urgent, but solvable problem. That’s why I’ve joined the We Campaign,  a powerful nonpartisan movement of concerned citizens that was founded by Nobel Prize Laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. For decades, Al Gore has challenged the skeptics in Washington on climate change and awakened the conscience of a nation to the urgency of this threat. I strongly agree with Vice President Gore that we cannot drill our way to energy independence, but must fast-track investments in renewable sources of energy like solar power, wind power and advanced biofuels, and those are the investments I will make as President. It's a strategy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced, and one that will leave our children a world that is cleaner and safer."
