Sierra Club plan: Pressure Senate on global warming thru postcard campaign


TO: Environmental Advocates
FROM: The Sierra Club Global Warming Campaign

*** Take Action! Join the Sierra Club's postcard campaign to the US Senate -- and demand action on global warming! ***

Global warming is the most serious environmental threat facing the world today -- but that's not stopping polluting industries and their friends in Congress from seeking to kill any effort to cut pollution.

To counter their campaign the Sierra Club and other environmental organizations are working with grassroots environmental activists on a new effort urging Senators to support measures to combat global warming.

As part of this effort we've produced a new postcard that activists can send to their US Senators, demanding that they support common sense measures to curb global warming. The cards feature the famous "Earthrise" photo from the Apollo 8 moon mission, and remind Senators that when it comes to global warming, we all have a lot to loose. The card urges them to support higher miles per gallon standards for cars and trucks, greater energy efficiency, and increased use of clean wind and solar power.

TAKE ACTION: We've produced the cards, now we need your help to get them into the hands of people who can use them!

Take a packet of 5, 10, 25 or more postcards and distribute them to your family, friends, and neighbors! The postcards, and the fact packet that goes with them, are FREE of charge! They are a great way to educate people in your community about the threat of global warming -- and demand that our decision makers take action to address the problem!

*** To order a packet, email Steve Pedery or call (202) 547-1141. Be sure to include the approximate number of postcards you can use! ****

Thank you!
