July 8th, the G8 summit and what we can do…

In the United States on June 26 the House passed legislation intended to impose limits on greenhouse gases. Yesterday in a meeting of the Group of Eight nations in L’Aquilla, Italy, the hope was to commit to specific goals to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050. In Copenhagen in December, the UN Climate Change Conference plans to create a worldwide climate treaty.

We all have become more conscious of current climatic issues from a local, national and worldwide standpoint. We are working against the clock and these efforts are necessary to stimulate more action today in our country and around the world.

This is a unique opportunity for individuals to get involved in positive climatic change in any way possible and help tackle this problem one by one, and speak through action. We must believe that our leaders will hear our collective voice
