Leave an Impression: A Week of Global Warming Action

From Greenpeace:

It's time to let Congress know that global warming is about more than just Washington politics. It's about people and the future of our planet. And every single day that passes without serious, science-based legislation brings us one day closer to the tipping point.

So what's it going to take to get Congress to finally act on global warming? Well, maybe we need to remind them of what this issue is really about and who they’re elected serve.

Picture this:

Activists like you from around the country will visit their Representative's local offices to deliver a personal message about global warming. You’ll choose a picture of something dear to you that's being threatened by global warming, and write a personal message on the back of the picture. It could be a picture of your family, your home, or your favorite vacation destination -- whatever you choose. Deliver your picture and message with flowers, and you’ll really get your Representative’s attention. That's it. A simple message with a simple reminder.

Make sure your Representative gets the picture: Sign up today to deliver your message.

The message itself will vary according to whether or not your Representative has already taken the lead on global warming by supporting the Safe Climate Act. Your message will say something along the lines of “thank you and keep up the good work,” or, if your Representative hasn’t yet taken the lead on global warming, it will say “now’s the time to be a leader and support science-based global warming legislation.” It all depends on your Representative’s stance.

Your flowers and messages will leave a powerful impression that your Representative will take to the convention and share with their colleagues.

Throughout August, members of Congress will be back home in their districts getting work done and preparing for the upcoming conventions. It's a perfect time to stop in the office and send them a message that they can take to their party's convention.

Make a lasting impression on your member of Congress by signing-up to drop off some flowers during our week of action from August 18th – 22nd. We'll help you find the nearest local office, let you know whether or not your Representative has signed the Safe Climate Act and help you with everything else. It's a simple gesture, but it will go a long way.
