Bring a New Optimism to the Climate Change Discussion

Hi Shannah,There has been a shift in the discussion about climate change. The dread has passed, and now the true heroes are making it clear that this is a problem that can be solved if we approach it with optimism, ingenuity and creativity.Tell Congress that you want to see them encourage this climate optimism with new energy technologies and legislation! Fred Krupp, the president of Environmental Defense Fund, and his colleague Miriam Horn tell the story of their search to find solutions to global warming. Here is what the author himself says about his new book, Earth: The Sequel. On my journey, I met inventors and entrepreneurs remaking the way we meet our energy needs. They are the Thomas Edisons and Wright Brothers of the 21st Century. And, they are ready and waiting to scale their inventions and radically transform the $5 trillion energy business. These include such brazen inventions as flying windmills and artificial carbon-eating trees. It means reinventing everything from cars to concrete, replacing the old, dumb, centralized electrical grid with a smart, multidirectional energy network. And it involves remaking the economics of the rainforest. Sign our petition today to tell Congress that this kind of optimism and creative action is what we want to see taking place in our government. >> Sincerely,Emily Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team
