Today, June 5th, is The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Environment Day.  World Environment Day was established to bring global attention and political action to issues surrounding the environment. This year’s slogan is “Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy.“ As Americans, this slogan should really be more relevant than ever as the Senate has scheduled a “cloture” vote to end the filibuster on the Climate Security Act tomorrow morning.

Over the last 7+ years, the United States has stood idle while the rest of the developed world has come together and fought to stop climate change. As the Bush era nears its close, there is an opportunity for the U.S. to join the fight and it is time for Americans to speak up. Environmental Defense has launched Operation Climate Vote to raise awareness and support for this historic global warming legislation. What can you do?

Here are a few ideas for starters…

1. Visit Environmental Defense to learn more

2. Email your Senators and urge them to vote YES on cloture

3. Give your Senators a call: Dial 1-800-927-6464 to be patched directly through.

4. Tell all your friends to take action.

Let’s make it happen!
