Let's face it, our country is addicted to oil. Even George W. Bush, a former oil peddler, has admitted this addiction. And like any sickness, our addiction to oil has serious consequences: higher temperatures, melting glaciers, more violent storms and $4 a gallon gasoline to name just a few. The cycle of addiction must end now - and it's our generation that must stand up and make the change.

Homeless Polar Bears Ask for Change

Several homeless polar bears have been spotted around the nation’s capitol city in recent days. All of them asking desperately for change (in global warming policy), and we can only assume they are new refugee’s of climate change. What’s going on you ask? Greenpeace has unveiled a collaborative art project with well-known street artist Mark Jenkins highlighting the shared plight of polar bears and humanity in the face of global warming.

Kleenex vs. Wall-E: Will the Forest Survive?

Kimberly-Clark is using Wall*E, a movie about conservation, to sell Kleenex, a disposable paper product containing absolutely no recycled content. We couldn't let this go unchallenged so we asked Mark Fiore, a celebrated political cartoonist to create an animated movie of our own. Here, Wall*E meets one of his precursors: a robot called Kleer*E.

It's time for the U.S. to show the rest of the world that we're back on track and serious about tackling the most urgent environmental crisis of our time - and YOU can help! <p> We've already asked President-elect Obama to go to Poland himself, and while it appears that he won't be able to attend, it doesn't mean you have to stay home, too. No, I'm not actually asking you to go to Poland, but if you send us your picture, we'll take it to Poznan with us. <p> <center><a href="http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start/223/?&ref_source=myspc_polandfoto"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/3044455786_cfa6597a5a.jpg"></a></center> <p> Greenpeace will project thousands of pictures from our supporters around the world in a prominent place near the conference.

While President-elect Obama intends to roll back several of Bush's worst policies, we can't wait for January before taking action. We have one last chance to get the Bush administration to do something good for the planet. <p> The EPA is considering whether or not greenhouse gases represent a danger to public health and welfare. If the agency were to determine that greenhouse gases do in fact endanger the public, it would be required to take a number of regulatory actions. <p> <center><a href="http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start/219/?&ref_source=myspc_EPAnov"><font size="+1">TAKE ACTION NOW: Write to the EPA and tell them you support bold action on global warming!</font></a></center> <p> For a the Future!

That’s the bad news. The good news is that with a new administration coming to Washington we are closer now than ever to having true national leadership and rejoining the world community in the fight to stop global warming. But we have to make it happen! <p> This December, President-elect Obama has the opportunity to attend the UN international climate treaty negotiations in Poznań, Poland. The talks are the most important global warming negotiations in years. By attending personally he could signal that America is ready to join the fight against global warming and contribute to the success of the talks. <p> Just before the election a Greenpeace volunteer, Mellisa Leonard, asked him to do just that. Check out what he said: <p> <center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I_TD4OL-15U&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I_TD4OL-15U&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center> <p> To read more about Mellisa’s experience check out <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=16250876&blogID=448722354">our blog</a>.

Just follow these steps to encourage President-elect Obama to attend the international climate treaty negotiations in Poznań:</font></center> <p> Go to the President-elect’s <a href="http://change.gov/page/s/yourvision">website</a> where he is asking you to submit suggestions for his new administration: <p> <a href="http://change.gov/page/s/yourvision">http://change.gov/page/s/yourvision</a> <p> In the box labeled “Tell us your vision for the country” ask the President-elect to personally attend the UN climate talks in Poland this December. <p> Then, click submit and your done! <p> We can’t save the climate if we don’t pressure our leaders to do so. So go to the President-elect’s site and together we can make him and the United States a leader in the fight against global warming! <p> For a green and peaceful future, <p> Chris Greenpeace USA <p> <center>Please <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcHJvZmlsZS5teXNwYWNlLmNvbS9pbmRleC5jZm0/ZnVzZWFjdGlvbj11c2VyLnZpZXdwcm9maWxlJmZyaWVuZGlkPTE2MjUwODc2I3RleHRib3g=">Grab The Code </a>For This Bulletin <br><font color=red><b>And Repost On Your Blog, Bulletin or Profile!</b></font><br></center>

Wall St. Lessons for the Chemical Industry!

Their inaction in replacing dangerous toxins with harmless chemicals, which are just as functional, puts millions at risk. <p> The current disaster on Wall St. has a lesson for all of this: some industries need to be regulated and the chemical industry is no exception! <p> <center><a href="http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start/120/?&ref_source=myspc_chemwallst"><font size="+1">TAKE ACTION: Make Congress Tighten Up Chemical Security!</font></a></center> <p> Congress has seriously lagged on this issue and they need to hear your voice to get things done. My colleague, Rick Hind, explains, “since Sept. 11, 2001, industry titans such as Dow and DuPont have lobbied against requirements that they use safer chemicals at 7,000 high-risk chemical plants identified by the Department of Homeland Security. These facilities use and store highly toxic, chemicals such as chlorine gas. A terrorist attack or accident at one of them could form a toxic cloud that could endanger people up to 25 miles away. The EPA has identified 100 plants that each put one million or more people at risk.” <p> “These risks are, however, avoidable - through simple, inexpensive regulations requiring companies to replace dangerous chemicals with relatively harmless agents that serve the same functions, such as liquid bleach, ozone and ultraviolet light.” <p> So raise your voice above that of the chemical giants: <a href="http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start/120/?&ref_source=myspc_chemwallst">We Need Chemical Security Now!</a> <p> Also, you can <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=16250876&blogID=447904627">learn more about our nation’s chemical insecurity in our blog</a>. <p> For the Planet, Chris Greenpeace USA <p> <center>Please <a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcHJvZmlsZS5teXNwYWNlLmNvbS9pbmRleC5jZm0/ZnVzZWFjdGlvbj11c2VyLnZpZXdwcm9maWxlJmZyaWVuZGlkPTE2MjUwODc2I3RleHRib3g=">Grab The Code </a>For This Bulletin <br><font color=red><b>And Repost On Your Blog, Bulletin or Profile!</b></font><br></center>

Kennedy gave one of history’s most inspiring speeches when he launched a bold effort to “go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” <p> Today, the world faces an even more daunting task: stopping global warming before it is too late. So Greenpeace imagined how JFK would address the issue of climate. He might call for an Energy [R]evolution: <p> <center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP1RxVKD6vQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tP1RxVKD6vQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center> <p> Greenpeace has created a plan to stop global warming with bold action from the entire planet. Its called the <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/energy-revolution-now">Energy [R]evolution</a>. But if the world is going to put this plan into action we need YOU to bring the movement together: <p> <center><a href=" http://usactions.greenpeace.org/action/start/214/?&ref_source=myspc_energyrev"><font size="+1">You Can Make it Happen: JOIN THE [R]EVOLUTION!</font></a></center> <p> Updated with the latest economic, technical, and population data, <a href="http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/news/energy-revolution-now">the Energy [R]evolution</a> is the only blueprint that shows how the world can cut emissions, phase out nuclear power, save money, and maintain global economic development without fueling catastrophic climate change. With the plan we can fix the economy and the climate at the same time! All we need to kick start this plan is bold energy policy from world leaders. That way, global carbon emissions from the energy and transport sectors can peak by 2015 and be cut by over 50% by 2050. <p> Be part of the solution.
