Beyond volunt. action, support legislative change

Creative ways to encourage/enable more folks to sign up for voluntary measures to combat global warming is laudable. I am grateful that celebrities like Edward Norton and others are using their star power to make that kind of positive difference.  BUT, curbing the HUGE problem of global climate change is going to require HUGE action.  We cannot rely on voluntary action alone.  We need to push for legislative action.  Let's pass laws that committ local, state and our federal governments, along with corporations, to reduce global warming causing pollution.  Not much is happening with such legislation at a federal level right now, but many good battles are happening at the state level, with dedicated grassroots organizations pushing to curb pollution.  One such organization is the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.  It is building coalitions in VA,MD and DC to support responsible legislation in these states.  One, of many, campaigns CCAN is building now is to push the Global Warming Solutions Act into law in Maryland.  It would committ MD to reduce global warming pollution to 1990 levels by 2020.  It would be wonderful if Edward Norton could put his influence behind such efforts for legislative change in his own home state.On An interview with actor and solar advocate Edward Norton posted 2 years, 4 months ago 4 Responses
