Do something nice for the enviroment

The form letter I received after signing an electronic petition asking that the environment be a priority for the new Congress in January -

Subject: Help Al Gore Send a Message to Congress

Hi,

Al Gore is ready to build on the success of "An Inconvenient Truth" and start organizing to solve the climate crisis. He's working to get hundreds of thousands of messages to Congress demanding real action to stop global warming. And he's asking for our help.

Can you help out by signing the petition at the link below? If you do, Al Gore will personally deliver our comments to Congress. I just did it myself and it only takes a second.

Thanks!

Form letters aside, we do need the government to step in and demand higher environmental standards. Did you know that polar bears are dying because the arctic ice cap is melting and they can't find ice to hold them when they're too tired to swim? That the mean temperature of the Earth has risen 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past 100 years and many places are the hottest they've ever been since 900 A.D.?

So sign the petition!

below is a note I received that supposedly describes Al Gore's house. Any truth? HOUSE # 1: A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.
