To Girlawhirl and her Super Pals, it's all gloom and doom when it comes to the news about global warming. Ice caps melting at alarming rates, new coal plants being built that aren't even using the cleaner coal producing technology that's available, and more CO2 in the air than ever… It all leads them to wonder if their collective efforts at recycling, re-using, unplugging, offsetting and all the other things they do to incorporate a little green into their lives, even makes a millimeter of difference. But Girlawhirl knows that it's the collective effort of all Americans – because as a country our carbon emissions are so much higher than other countries – that can really help. That's why she and all of her Super Pals have joined the Virtual March at stopglobalwarming.org.
Really, there's no physical marching involved! By just signing up, which takes less than a minute and requires just a name, email address and zip code, they've done more than just recognize the problem. By adding their names, the word gets out, all the way to Washington, where, with the changes in Congress, there's hope that the message will be heard – and acted upon.
Plus, the stopglobalwarming.org site is full of easy to understand information and things everyone can to do reduce their own carbon footprints. Girlawhirl loves the “Take Action” section because it's full of facts she finds herself spewing at cocktail parties: that shorter showers really do make a difference, tires that are fully inflated not only make for a more comfortable ride but also save money and reduce carbon emissions, and more. There's also up to the minute news from the scientific community and updates on what's being done to help stop global warming.
It's all spearheaded by Laurie David, who's helped bring the climate crisis issue to the forefront of the American consciousness. In addition to producing the documentaries “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Too Hot NOT to Handle,” she created the comedy special “Earth to America” and has written Stop Global Warming: The Solution Is You! which has become a must read for Girlawhirl and her Super Pals.
