BYOBlueWear blue for Earth Day 2008 to vote for no coal!Posted by Edward Mazria (Guest Contributor) at 11:08 AM on 12 Mar 2008
Earth Day 2008 is going to be historic. We, along with numerous other groups around the nation, are calling on everyone to wear blue during Earth Day 2008 to signify a vote for no coal. Events will be happening around the world from April 19-22, so ...
A blue shirt, top, sweater, or jacket ... whatever. Just wear blue. Then, on April 22, as the culminating event, pick up the phone: call Congress at 202.224.3121 and ask for an immediate "Moratorium on Coal" -- a halt to the construction of any new coal-fired power plants. Through this Call for Climate event, Earth Day hopes to generate over a million phone calls to Congress. Visit Earth Day's website to learn more. Your blue vote will count. Fifty-nine coal plants were canceled in 2007. That's over a third of the 151 planned. That happened before millions of people joined together to say "No Coal!" BYOBlue for Earth Day 2008. Be the vote that tips the balance.
