President Obama’s Energy and Environment Achievements

President Obama has made record investments in clean energy, and refuses to let polluters play by a different set of rules than everyone else. He’s implementing new standards to keep our air and water clean and our children safe.
Under President Obama’s watch we have more than doubled production of renewable energy from wind and solar, while investing in over 15,000 clean energy projects across the country.
Mitt Romney would cut funding and incentives for clean energy, including ending the tax incentive for wind energy, which could cost 37,000 American jobs. Meanwhile, he would continue providing billions in subsidies to Big Oil companies.

We’ll fly you to L.A. for dinner with the stars : Chad Griffin, Human Rights Campaign : Dinner Sweepstakes ends Wednesday!
We have to close down the dinner sweepstakes tomorrow at midnight so Get your entry in NOW! |

You know Cam and Mitch, right? Chances are you’ve seen them on ABC’s Modern Family once or twice. Or, if you’re like me, you haven’t missed an episode. They’re America‘s favorite gay couple. But to me, they’re Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, two dear friends (and amazing actors, I might add) who have transformed the way America sees same-sex couples. How would you like to join them for an exclusive dinner? Eric and Jesse are inviting one lucky HRC supporter and a guest to join them for a private dinner in Los Angeles. Laughs and good times guaranteed.* A free trip to L.A. for a delicious dinner with two of the most hilarious people in show business should be enough reason to donate. But there’s also this: if their characters were a real-life couple, their love would be denied recognition by California and the federal government. Denied. Just like tens of thousands of couples. So while you and your guest haggle with Jesse and Eric over who gets the last piece of bruschetta and discuss why equality matters most to you, we’ll be putting your donation to work in this critical election, on Capitol Hill, and in schools, hospitals, and workplaces around the country where discrimination is still rampant. And we’ll put your gift to use in getting hospitals to improve their policies so that a real-life Cameron doesn’t have to think twice before visiting a real-life Mitchell in the event of a real-life crisis. It’s time our nation’s laws affirm what their TV show demonstrates every week. There is so much work left to do – and your gift will enable all of it. Let us thank you with dinner. Chip in $5 or more over the next nine days for a chance at dinner with these two amazing guys. (Travel and hotel are also on us.) In the end, Jesse and Eric’s message is really simple. Love, patience, and a lot of humor are what really matter. I think you’d get a real kick out of meeting them. Good luck, * I personally think Eric and Jesse are hilarious, but HRC’s lawyers have informed me that I can’t actually guarantee you will laugh. So let’s just say it’s pretty darn likely. Chip in $5 or more now. |

The Colonel reacts : Rolf Skar, Greenpeace
Ask KFC’s board to take real action to protect the rainforest.  Please email KFC’s Board of Directors today and ask them to cut deforestation out of their supply chain and keep Sumatran tiger habitat standing in Indonesia.  |
KFC recently announced the start of a process to examine where it gets its paper for things like napkins and chicken buckets.
This is a good first step and a sign that the company is starting to take your concerns seriously. But a process alone isn’t going to help save the 400 remaining Sumatran tigers from extinction. What we need from KFC is a global zero deforestation policy to ensure they won’t buy from companies like Asia Pulp & Paper (APP). And now’s the time to ask for it.
CEO David Novak will be the person responsible for whatever policy comes out of this process. It’s up to us to make sure he does what’s needed to save the Indonesian rainforest by developing a global policy that rules out deforestation.
And there is one group of people who can definitely make sure Mr. Novak does just that: KFC’s Board of Directors.
Send a message to KFC’s Board of Directors and ask them to persuade David Novak to cut rainforest destruction out of KFC products. For good.
To make things a bit more interesting we’ve decided to do a little promotion of our own.
If over 30,000 people take this action, we’ll host a livestream event for people around the world and dip the Colonel himself into a tank of one of his own sauces. We think the Colonel needs a wake-up call.
Every message we send to KFC’s Board of Directors matters. This is a critical time for the campaign and your support right now is crucial as the company begins the process of developing a policy. Please email KFC’s Board of Directors today and ask them to cut deforestation out of the company’s supply chain and keep Sumatran tiger habitat standing in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s rainforests are one of the largest in the world. During the last 50 years an area larger than Texas has been destroyed — logged, burned, or pulped — and its products shipped round the planet. Often for things like chicken buckets and napkins.
There’s no need to throw-away one of the most amazing, diverse places on earth.
For the forests,
Rolf Skar Greenpeace Forest Campaign Director
