72 Hours for our Coast and Climate Blog - Energy / Global Warming Thursday, 04 March 2010 15:58

Dear All,

This week, we have been teaming up with our partners at 1Sky and dozens of other organizations around the country for 72 hours to send a loud and powerful message to Senator Landrieu that she must protect our coast and our clean air. Since the start of this push last Tuesday, over 200,000 calls from around the country have been placed to key Senate offices, and it was and remains vital that Louisianans are part of this ongoing effort.

Carbon Dioxide pollution from polluting industries harms our air quality and contributes greatly to the problems associated with climate change, such as rising sea-levels and more powerful storms, which wreak havoc on our coast and speed up-the destruction of our wetlands.

Can you make a call to Senator Landrieu? It is extremely important that she hears from people just like YOU. When you make a call, be sure to tell her:

• Protect the federal Clean Air Act from polluting industries and oppose the Murkowski resolution.
• Support strong, comprehensive climate legislation this year because our coast and communities depend on it.

1Sky has made this easy for you to do. Simply click on the link here and follow the prompts. After you make the call, please ask as many of your friends as possible to do the same. Thank you.

For our Coast and Communities,

Jonathan Henderson
