Home                  Take Action!               Spread the Word             Know the Issues        In the Media

Important First Steps . . . 

Before you take action, its important to know who your elected officials are. To do this, you need to know your 9 digit zip code.  Where you live determines what congressional district you are in and who represents you in the US House of Representatives.  Find your Congressional Representative here.    If you have questions, reach out and email us: andrea [@] cleanenergy.org

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP 

* Make your voice heard  

As a citizen, your opinions and your voice counts!  Make sure your representative has heard from you on this issue.  For deeper research, speaking points and general background on energy issues and global warming, visit 'Know The Issue' on this site.  With opportunities ranging from calling, writing or visiting with your representative's office to writing a Letter to the Editor, there is not a shortage of things to do! Visit our "On-Going List of Opportunities" on this page.


* Who do you represent?

Be proud of who you are and your profession!  Global warming is an issue that uniquely effects all types of people. It is important we express that global warming is something everyone cares about - join together with other individuals from your profession and make a statement! From Mothers to Scientists, Engineers to Students, Economists to Entertainers, there is always a place for your voice to speak out!

* Who do you know?

There are scores of people who are interested in the issues that need education - are you a part of an organization, club, association or a fellowship?   Would your colleagues, friends, or family be interested in getting involved?  Help to organize an event! We can support all types of activities ranging from a short 10 - 15 minute presentation, a longer presentation, or host a short film screening with a discussion and coordinated 'action' to follow. 

* Tell 10 friends about it 

So you are concerned about the issue, you have read the reports, you mailed a letter to your Congressional Representative and got a letter to the editor published.  Still feeling motivated and inspired? Talk about it! Bellow are links to a template email where you can make a real impact.  The more people that know about this issue who are willing to take action, the faster change will come: 

- I just contacted my Congressperson from the US house of Representatives.    

- I just wrote a Letter to the Editor

- I am concerned - Join me
