  Umbra, as always, thanks for the GREAT resources. I also love the Lulu reference! While concerned citizens are waiting for their suggestions to be incorporated into the legislative process, they can also look into renewable energy options to power their homes or businesses. Choosing renewable energy such as wind or solar power is a simple and inexpensive way to do something about climate change. It's also available to everyone in the U.S. regardless of whether your state is blue or red.

  When you sign up with a renewable energy provider, they will give you tangible examples of what your purchase did in terms of how many tons of Greenhouse gas emissions were avoided or that your purchase of renewable energy certificates was equivalent to taking a certain number of cars off the road for a whole year. You get tangible results normally within a week that show what you did to mitigate the risks of climate change. My experience was that it was more gratifying then the standard form letter I received back from my representative.

  Green-e (www.green-e.org) is a good resource for renewable energy options in the U.S. On Umbra on writing to reps about climate change posted 3 years, 4 months ago 7 Responses
