I recognize that I must take responsibility to raise awareness about this global problem, and take definitive action to help provide a clean, safe environment for generations to come. I pledge to take at least three of the following actions:

LOCAL ___Write a letter-to-the-editor of my local newspaper in support of global warming initiatives at the federal, state or local level ___Encourage my Mayor to sign on to the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement if they have not already ___Attend a city council, county commission, planning, fish and wildlife commission meeting and report and report back to my local Audubon chapter about what was discussed
PERSONAL ___Switch my light bulbs to compact fluorescent bulbs or LEDs ___Reduce my car travel, or use public transportation when possible ___Use less energy to heat/cool my house ___Conserve water in my home and use less hot water ___Set a goal of reducing my household waste by half in the next year by recycling and buying less packaged goods
