I like the way the Edwards campaign always involves citizens, as government in my view can not solve all of our problems. Like many of you, John Edwards was at the Step It Up Rally, calling for Congress to address the climate change issue. Edwards has already organized over 90 events taking place across the Country where the campaign's One Corps volunteers will not only take a pledge themselves to reduce their carbon, but will be going door-to-door and setting up tables at farmer's markets to get their neighbors to do the same.
Check out the site and make a pledge to reduce your carbon and say how you plan on doing it.
UPDATE 4/19: Newsflash: John Kerry and Newt Gingrich agree on something. Global warming is real!

My commute is already short and I've replaced all the bulbs in my house, so I think I'll try decreasing the temperature in my house by a few degrees, especially at night. No sense keeping the thermostat up unnecessarily.

Great action item, thanks. As summer rolls around I am going to make sure I walk and ride my bike to every place I can instead of driving.

Every light bulb in both my home and Florida Condo have been converted to energy saving bulbs. I started walking to work last April and recently celebrated 1 year of walking and only 2000 miles on my car for the entire year. I lost 12lbs without changing my diet. Another 3 years of walking and maybe I wont be overweight.
