For the Environmentalist

Since the 80's scientists have been warning us of the hazardous side effects of using fossil fuels for our energy supply. Acid rain, smog, and now global warming threaten the balance of of our environment and perhaps our very existence. With so many sounding the alarm and so much to lose the time for action is decidedly now.

"Our Renewable Future" can be your tool to help change the attitudes of your fellow citizens and inspire them to make a difference. Without new information there can be no new way of doing things. "Our Renewable Future" will package and distribute that information to make change a reality.

Global Warming

This summer the North Pole became an island for the first time in human history.
Startling satellite pictures show that melting ice has opened up the fabled North-West and North-East Passages - making it possible to sail around the Arctic ice cap. The opening of the passages has been eagerly awaited by shipping companies which hope they will be able to cut thousands of miles off their routes. But to climate change scientists it is yet another sign of the damage global warming is inflicting on the planet.

 

"According to the grimmest forecasts, extreme global warming could give us a future where erratic and chaotic weather, rising sea levels, and melting snowpack usher in an epic of drought, crop failure, famine, flood and mass extinctions and the political instability that invariably accompanies dwindling resources." Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Sr. Attorney, NRDC

 

"I am joining the hundreds of thousands who shall be marching to demonstrate the concern that we all hold for the future of our planet and all the living things that exist upon it. The governments of the world have tarried long enough, and the United States is scarcely without doubt the greatest culprit among them." Walter Cronkite - Journalist/Humanitarian

 

"Global warming and the pollution and burning of fossil fuels that cause it are threats we see here in California and everywhere around the world. I am joining this historic virtual march on Washington, along with other leaders, because we need to address global warming now." Arnold Schwarzenegger - Governor (R-CA)
