Put a lump in your stocking (& your throat and lungs too!)

Ah, the good old days here in America, when life was simple and we worked our land for energy instead of wriggling under the thumb of oil-rich Arab nations...
NOT.
We must never, never go back.
Some things really are backwards- the move to coal as a viable source of energy is one of them.
Say no in innovative and informed ways:

Check out this project the Sierra Club has set up to counteract the "Clean Coal" lobby:

they are putting slogans that we the people come up with and post them on their "Truth Truck" which will drive around Washington D.C.
We may not have as much money as those lobbyists, but the creative capital is ALL on our side- let's show it.

Now, I think personally, that they should have come up with a cleaner, greener billboard solution, one that doesn't involve fossil fuels, but there is no denying the flexibility and visibility their trucks will offer.
Who knows, maybe they are electric?


The site is good looking and some of the slogans are really, really clever.
They have come up with something that really is both informative and fun.
You can post your own, watch a slide show of the cache of submissions so far, or scroll down the list and vote or comment on your favorites.


So, get busy y'all- we have another dirty little war to fight!
