APRIL 14th IS NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

[Guest guest]

Moderator's Note: Please email the Organic Consumers Association and ask them

to lobby Congress for the elimination of animal agriculture (AA) subsidies and

to promote a plant based diet to the American people.

A recent ground breaking U.N. study proved that about 1/4 of all pollution comes

from animal agriculture, the single biggest contributor to global warming.

Becoming vegan is the most important thing any of us can do to fight global

warming.

 

Thanks to Barbara for posting the below and giving us a chance to make a

MARK YOUR CALENDARS:

APRIL 14th IS NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE

The Organic Consumers Association's Planting Peace Campaign invites

you to join the No War! No Warming! coalition. On April 14th, we'll be

out with Step It Up! calling on Congress to cut carbon 80% by 2050.

The U.S. military, the single largest consumer of petroleum, and the

war on Iraq, a country with massive oil reserves, are obvious targets

for actions against global warming. The first thing Congress should do

to reduce carbon emissions is to set a timetable for the withdrawal of

the U.S. military--and U.S. oil companies--from Iraq. For more details

on how No War! No Warming! will be participating in Step It Up, go to
