75 Percent Want To Be Eco-Responsible. How About A Vote?
posted 18th December 2007 in 2008 Reasons, Activism by The Green Man
75 percent of Americans, when asked by a pollster, respond that they plan to be more environmentally responsible in 2008. Shouldn’t we have a President who has the same attitude?
Changing light bulbs over to more energy efficient models, insulating, and conserving fuel are all important ways to be environmentally responsible. However, we are profoundly social beings, and the energy expenditures we create through our associations are much more potent than what we create merely on our own.
Elections bring together our social natures and our desire to be responsible. If 75 percent of Americans really want to be more environmentally responsible in 2008, then a great place for them to start is by choosing a reliably environmentally aware presidential candidate to vote for in their political party’s primary election in their state.
The primaries start in just a couple of weeks now. It’s time to make a choice, and get active in promoting the best candidate.
