今天,四月22日,星期二,是世界地球日。
全世界将会有很多的“世界地球日”主题活动。
这不是一个人、一个机构的节日,而是我们所有人增加对地球关注度的日子。
您还不知道该怎样度过这个特殊的时刻,请登录 世界地球日网站, 去看看你都能为地球做些什么(寻找离你最近的世界地球日活动)。
这些相关活动可能会引起您的兴趣:星期天音乐会(国家购物中心,华盛顿特区,美国),世界地球日特别电影放映日,世界地球日大学校园庆祝活动等。
我们的明星们都知道我们应该对气候威胁保持高度警惕,那您呢?
您可以让您地区的领导人都知道,如果他们想保住工作,他们就应该为减少气候威胁做些什么,而不是口头上的功夫。
他们该做些什么:让这个国家加入相关国际条约,并受到条约的约束,在未来迅速削减温室气体的排放;让他们从此停止用纳税人的钱去建设火力发电站,并将现有的火力发电设备都装上二氧化碳收集设备;告诉他们怎样才能更有效率的工作、生活、学习,在这些方面,他们能够大量减少温室气体的排放;鼓励他们通过立法形式,减少整个国家或者地区对化石燃料的依赖。
如果您是在美国,请联系国会山的议员们。
如果您不在美国境内,请您联系您所在国家或者地区的立法委员、议员和地方官员。
谢谢您的关注,希望我们能一起将地球转动起来!
Earth Day is Tuesday April 22nd, and many Earth Day events are happening this weekend! Not sure yet how you'll be celebrating Earth Day? Find an event near you on the Earth Day website. Hundreds of Earth Day events including the Sunday concert on the National Mall in Washington DC, special Earth Day film screenings and festivals, and campus Earth Day celebrations will be showing selections from the Live Earth Film Series.
Celebs from Chevy Chase to Questlove have called for the climate - have you? Let our leaders know if they want to keep their jobs, they have to do something
substantive to solve climate change.
What should you ask them to do? Take these ideas from the Live Earth Pledge: Demand that our country join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90%
in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth; Ask them to fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating
facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2; Tell them to work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of homes, workplaces, schools, places of worship,
and means of transportation; Encourage them to pass laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal; If you are in the US... White House -
202.456.1111 Capitol Hill (our Capitol Hill Operators are really helpful, don't be afraid to call and ask for your Member of Congress!!) 202.224.3121 If you are outside the US - call your president,
legislators, and local officials.
My Neverland? 永远不老
