Donation
to Campaign - Make Polluters Pay
In 2008, the Schwarzenegger
administration will finalize the state’s blueprint for
reducing global warming pollution 25 percent by 2020. It is critical
that Gov.
Schwarzenegger
resists polluter pressure and create a Global Warming Solutions
Fund, paid for by polluters. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel
industry is urging the Schwarzenegger administration to repeat
the mistakes of the European Union, which set up a global warming
cap and trade program, but gave pollution permits away for
free, leading to windfall profits and perverse incentives that
rewarded pollution. The governor supports a cap and trade program,
but has yet to commit to requiring polluters to buy the permits.

has purchased renewable energy through
whitefence.com to
offset our total energy used for this website, for the year. We
selected windpower as
our renewable energy choice as the owners of this site are full
of
hot air. ;) WhiteFence Green are Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)
. RECs are the property rights to
the environmental benefits from generating electricity from renewable
energy sources. While traditional carbon emissions trading programs
promote low-carbon technologies by increasing the cost of emitting
carbon, RECs incentivize carbon-neutral renewable energy by providing
a subsidy to electricity generated from renewable sources.

in their 'Animal Adoption'
Happyhippie.com
has 'adopted'
the polar bear. As a result of global warming, sea ice
in the polar bear's
hunting grounds is melting earlier and forming later each year.
If present trends continue, this "king of the great white
north" could be extinct by the end of this century.
