One Response to “Earth Day Weekend in Miami”
If you can’t get outside for Earth Day (or even if you can!), you don’t have to miss the action. Here are four quick ways to make your voice heard for the environment, courtesy of the Sierra Club:
1) If water quality is a concern for you, send a message to your Member of Congress to urge co-sponsorship of the Clean Water Authority Restoration Action of 2007. http://action.sierraclub.org/a_cleanwater
2) Out, out, dam spots! It’s time to find out whether removing four dams from the Snake River could save the Columbia Basin and threatened salmon populations. Ask your Representative to support the Salmon Economic Analysis and Planning Act http://action.sierraclub.org/a_salmon
3) Who doesn’t like clean energy, right? Contact your Senators and ask them to fund new investment in clean energy by rolling back subsidies for Big Oil.

Happy Earth Day, everyone!
