I know, like you can actually petition global warming to not exist.

“Um, excuse me, Mr. Warming? I’ve got 1,000 signatures here, and we’d like you to just, um, go away…”

That said, there’s stuff we can do to curb global warming, and some of that stuff includes passing legislation to cut carbon emissions, general pollution, and other nasty things. To get said legislation passed, sometimes we have to petition.

Hence, this action item.

The Environmental Advocates of New York are running this campaign, Cap Carbon, to tell lawmakers that saving energy and money, cutting pollution and getting everybody else on board to do the same is a good idea.

Their petition has five major points. They want to cut the state’s pollution by 80% by the year 2050, use renewable energy and efficient energy standards, invest in clean energy, and protect the state from current and possible future global warming threats. Not a bad plan, really.

If you agree, please take a look at their petition and give it a go. You can even call it your good deed for the day if you want. Who knows? Maybe global warming will listen and go away. Or at least go on vacation.
