Greenpeace / Project Hot Seat / IL / District 6

I am here for Networking

About Me

We are working on a grassroots environmental campaign in DuPage County. The fundamental purpose is to raise awareness to the importance of global warming, and its' local impacts on northern Illinois. It is called Project Hot Seat, and it is a national campaign that will focus solely on U.S. representatives. The idea is simple. It is to build and organize a grassroots organization in Illinois, congressional district 6.This fall, our representatives will have the opportunity to support some critical legislation pertaining to global warming with reasonable solutions to stop it. This is where Project Hot Seat comes into play. It is time for the voters in district 6 to let Representative Peter Roskam know that global warming and its' local impacts are important issues, and that it is time for Rep. Roskam to be a leader on environmental issues in the House. We are reaching out to the communities in DuPage County, and building a volunteer-based organization that will remind Rep. Roskam what issues are important to his constituents.Take care,Greenpeace USA Project Hot Seat Illinois District 6 http://members.greenpeace.org/hotseat/Illinois/District6/ http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/"Be the change you want to see in the world" -Mahatma Gandhi

300+ Events So Far: Do One Yerself!
To save the climate system that lets us have a good time on our planet, we have to move fast. We now have an opportunity for real action in a bill making its way through Congress this Fall: The Safe Climate Act (HR 1590). The Safe Climate Act is a long-term, science-based response to global warming that sets concrete targets and requires actions necessary to avoid dangerous, irreversible warming of our planet. It’s what we need to move away from disaster and towards the kind of future we all want.
Your Representative could help get this bill passed, but if they don’t hear from you, they might not do it and the bill could fail.
Help Make It Happen!
We’re hand delivering lobby packs promoting the Safe Climate Act to Representatives all over the country during the last week of August, and we want your help. These personal visits are very important, and we’ve got everything you need online. You can do it yourself or with some friends. It takes five minutes to sign up and an hour to drop off the pack. So how about it?
Sign up to do a Hotseat lobby pack drop!
We have more than 300 of these events happening now and we want to do more. If you want to save our planet and can tear yourself away from the computer for a few minutes, these drop off actions are an important way to help. Please sign up to get involved.
Peace
