  12. The winds of change are blowing through the United States, starting in Massachusetts. For too long, acid rain has showered our shores and beaches, and residents of the Cape and Islands have inhaled toxic air from dirty power plants. Now is the time for that to change. Take action today to support clean and safe wind power on the Cape! Cape Wind is a project proposed off the shores of Massachusetts that would provide safe clean electricity for residents of Massachusetts without producing the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Building Cape Wind rather than a polluting power plant will create local jobs, and be the equivalent of taking 175,000 cars off the road or saving 113 million gallons of oil. Right now, the Minerals Management Service is accepting public comments on the draft environmental impact plan for the Cape Wind project. We need to let them know that Cape Wind is exactly the type of renewable energy investment America needs to move forward to protect our environment. Take action now at http://ga3.org/campaign/Cape_Wind/ and tell the Minerals Management Service to approve the Cape Wind project. Offshore wind offers an immediate, clean, safe and effective answer to both global warming and energy security. Cape Wind will provide 75% of Cape Cod's energy needs from a clean cost-effective source, and provide local jobs. Over 70% of Massachusetts' residents support Cape Wind and it is time for all of us to join in their support of this important clean energy project. Global warming poses significant risks for the Cape and Islands. From more frequent and severe red tides to rising sea levels and more intense storms, a warming planet is a big problem for the same beach front homeowners who oppose Cape Wind. The environment that is critical to the way of life in Cape Cod is in jeopardy, and projects like Cape Wind are the solution. Visit http://ga3.org/campaign/Cape_Wind/ to take action and tell the Minerals Management Service to approve the Cape Wind project. Thank you for your support! Sincerely, Mike Town Campaign Director, SaveOurEnvironment.org info@saveourenvironment.org
  13. when I got my dog I was broke as a joke. I went thru Friends of Animals for her spay certificate and had her done before she was a year old. There's free clinic days around here too to get yer pets updated on their shots. Its all a little cheaper then the standard vet fees (and no office visit charge)
  14. does anybody play guitar hero? are the keys set up like cords at all?
  15. the spca spays n neuters here too before they let the animal be adopted. big cities should have these policies. it will curb the feral animal population
  16. da fuck? and he just left her in there? wtf did he do when he had to take a crap?
  17. America has enough environmental problems due to climate destabilization. Any new drilling isn't a solution its a band aid over a huge gash that needs 40 stitches
  18. I don't sleep at night, I sleep in the morning
  19. he was a super delagate well thats it I guess we're in for another bush administration
  20. Each day, 820 million people in the developing world do not have enough food to eat1. Food prices around the world are shooting up, sparking food riots from Mexico2 to Morocco3. And the World Food Program warned last week that rapidly rising costs are endangering emergency food supplies for the world's worst-off4. How are the wealthiest countries responding? They're burning food. Specifically, they're using more and more biofuels--alcohol made from plant products, used in place of petrol to fuel cars. Biofuels are billed as a way to slow down climate change. But in reality, because so much land is being cleared to grow them, most biofuels today are causing more global warming emissions than they prevent5, even as they push the price of corn, wheat, and other foods out of reach for millions of people6. Not all biofuels are bad--but without tough global standards, the biofuels boom will further undermine food security and worsen global warming. Click here to use our simple tool to send a message to your head of state before this weekend's global summit on climate change in Chiba, Japan, and help build a global call for biofuels regulation http://www.avaaz.org/en/biofuel_standards_now/9.php?cl=60272952 Sometimes the trade-off is stark: filling the tank of an SUV with ethanol requires enough corn to feed a person for a year7. But not all biofuels are bad; making ethanol from Brazilian sugar cane is vastly more efficient than US-grown corn, for example, and green technology for making fuel from waste is improving rapidly. The problem is that the EU and the US have set targets for increasing the use of biofuels without sorting the good from the bad. As a result, rainforests are being cleared in Indonesia to grow palm oil for European biodiesel refineries, and global grain reserves are running dangerously low. Meanwhile, rich-country politicians can look "green" without asking their citizens to conserve energy, and agribusiness giants are cashing in. And if nothing changes, the situation will only get worse. What's needed are strong global standards that encourage better biofuels and shut down the trade in bad ones. Such standards are under development by a number of coalitions8, but they will only become mandatory if there's a big enough public outcry. It's time to move: this Friday through Saturday, the twenty countries with the biggest economies, responsible for more than 75% of the world's carbon emissions9, will meet in Chiba, Japan to begin the G8's climate change discussions. Before the summit, let's raise a global cry for change on biofuels: http://www.avaaz.org/en/biofuel_standards_now/9.php?cl=60272952 A call for change before this week's summit won't end the food crisis, or stop global warming. But it's a critical first step. By confronting false solutions and demanding real ones, we can show our leaders that we want to do the right thing, not the easy thing. As Kate, an Avaaz member in Colorado, wrote about biofuels, "Turning food into oil when people are already starving? My car isn't more important than someone's hungry child." It's time to put the life of our fellow people, and our planet, above the politics and profits that too often drive international decision-making. This will be a long fight. But it's one that we join eagerly--because the stakes are too high to do anything else.
