A brief, but powerful letter

The fight to pass clean energy and climate protection legislation is being fought at all levels. A resident of Montgomery County sent in this letter to the Lansdale Reporter yesterday urging swift action on climate change. Businesspeople, workers, elected officials and everyday, ordinary people are raising their voices together for clean energy and climate protection.

Read this letter, and then, if you haven't done so yet, head over to the Repower Wall and record your message for clean energy action.

Global warming can no longer be ignored even by those who would choose to do so. It is simply a fact backed up by too much evidence.

As usual, Congress has failed to take decisive and immediate action. It is easier to placate special interests by moving slowly.

Right now, our U.S. senators are considering legislation to address global climate change, and the decisions they make over the coming days and weeks will determine whether polar bears, walruses, red wolves and other wildlife get the help they need to survive in a changing climate.

As guardians of this planet, both for our children and our wildlife, caution is not the answer. Meaningful action is needed to protect this beautiful planet we have been given from turning ugly and barren.
