Project Phin - Clean My Ride,
Flex My Fuel"You'd think that after all the news on global warming, an
academy award-winning film and an international rock concert, politicians
would be climbing over each other to pass a big energy bill that does some
big stuff. Maybe tell the automakers that if they can figure out how to get
DVD players and swiveling cup-holders into cars, they can increase fuel
efficiency for cars and light trucks. It has been 32 years since they made
27.5 miles per gallon the standard for cars. Can't they tell the Big Oil
companies that they should use some of their billions in profits from high
gas prices to install the pumps that can deliver alternative fuels (ethanol,
aka e85) at more gas stations? But guess what - nothing has happened. Yet."

matter. Maybe making a commitment to LiveEarth’s to “Answer

- On April 14, a new organization
called Step It Up 2007 is inviting
organizations to hold rallies and events across the country. So far,
over 300 events are planned in 39 states. Please go to
http://stepitup2007.org/ and join one or create an event in your community.
It can be as humble as a sign, as entertaining as theater, or as bold as a
mass demonstration.

(Index) Is Your Fridge Running (Efficiently)? February 2007 -Appliances
account for about 20 percent of a household’s annual electricity use. Since
most of our nation’s electricity is generated from fossil fuels (such as
coal and natural gas), which contribute to global warming and air and water
pollution, replacing older appliances with more efficient Energy Star-rated
models can go a long way toward reducing your environmental impact. However,
these appliances are only as efficient as the person using them.
