Petition

Hi WatercolorsAngel,

Plans for the installation of offshore windmills to promote wind power in New Jersey are now in danger of being abandoned.

Support the approval of the New Jersey Wind Power project.»

Studies have concluded that the benefits of this project far outway the costs. It could create about 5,000 desperately needed jobs, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and according to the U.S. Departments of Energy and Interior, it would "provide cost-competitive electricity to key coastal regions." Overall, the project is a promising step towards reliance on alternative energy.

The Koch brothers, however, are fighting against this plan. Their group, Americans for Prosperity, released a costs-benefit analysis that distorts and misrepresents the project.

New Jersey must not allow the Koch brothers to influence the wind power project. Tell Governor Chris Christie to support the wind power project.»


Thanks for taking action!

    The reason that I am passing on this petition is since we share the planet--we share the responsibility of taking care of it. As it has been said--the environment is not ours, its our children's which we are only borrowing . It has also been said that--talk is cheap, for action speaks louder than words. Now is the time to take action.

Climate Change--a.k.a. It's about our envirionment. . . . .

Dear WatercolorsAngel,

On September 14, Reality needs you.

Every day, millions of dollars are spent trying to convince you that climate change isn't real. Or that humans don't cause it. Or that the biggest polluters are trying to solve the problem.

But climate change is a reality. And big polluters -- drawing from the playbook used by the big tobacco companies years ago -- are trying to fool citizens and consumers around the globe by denying proven science. So how can we get the world to embrace reality? How can we share the truth about the climate crisis?

Meet The Climate Reality Project. On September 14, in a 24-hour event spanning the globe, we're introducing a brand-new organization with one clear goal: to bring the facts about the climate crisis into the mainstream by engaging everyone -- especially leaders like you -- in a conversation about how to solve it.

But enough talk for now. Former Vice President Al Gore helped create this video to explain where we are going. Watch it:

Leading up to September 14, we will need our most ardent supporters with us to help promote the event and start the conversation. That means we need you.

We're building this new project on the foundation of the remarkable work we've done together as the Alliance for Climate Protection. We are joining together with The Climate Project -- a group of volunteer climate Presenters trained by Al Gore. So when you hear from us moving forward, it will be as The Climate Reality Project.

Thank you for your continued support.

I confess the deniers have me frustrated.  How can anyone just sit there and make believe that they don't see the 7 foot gorilla in the room. Every season is becoming more and more extreme, how can anyone look out the window and not see what is happening?
