I PLEDGE:
1.To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
2.To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"
3.To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
4.To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
5.To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
6.To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
7.To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.

Penelope Cruz, Will Ferrell, Jessica Biel and Tobey Maguire are among the Hollywood stars who have filmed environmentally friendly public service announcements, which will air during next weekend's Live Earth marathon. The movie stars will trade green tips during the PSAs, in which they each contribute something they do on a daily basis to help the environment.
In the short black-and-white spots, Cruz makes sure her air conditioning is never on for too long, British actress Emily Blunt heats only enough hot water for her cup of tea, while Ben Affleck promotes downloading music as a way to reduce costs associated with manufacturing and shipping CDs. |
