Simple Ways to Reduce Pollution
Petro industry has made trillions from conservatives by pretending global warming doesn't matter. Thus the petro industry has allowed tax dollar hating conservatives to spend spend bilions upon billions on taxes.

One of the most convenient ways to cut the need for more energy plants in general is to cut back on use within ones business or home. Turn off lights even if they are energy efficient energy star lighting systems and lower thermostats(wear wool sweaters). These are simple ways to reduce pollution. Another simple way to reduce pollution is to drive a hybrid or high mpg car for everyday driving around. This way you might be able to justify an SUV for family vacations. Then again there are hybrid SUV's on the market that get improved mileage.

If we all work together by turning off eletricity at every opportunity we won't need new plants thus less corporate welfare thus far less pollution. Ratepayers have a win win win solution to be excited about.

Or when you leave the house how many times can you burn calories instead of burning gasoline by walking or biking or use less gas by using public transporation.

Gore invests in and sells Green Tags which offsets polluting energy sources
thus overall less pollution http://www.b-e-f.org/GreenTags/

What are the rest of us doing?

Ultra green house construction began when? The absolute best thing Gore can do with his situation is reduce his footprint in the house he owns. None of us know exactly what he has done because this is more about politics than concern for pollution reduction. There are obviously some out there who are afraid he will have a major impact on consumers thus impact profits somewhere. These same people may also be afraid he will run for president
and take over the White House. Shall we say character assassination is more important than supporting pollution reduction.

In the meantime what are the rest of us doing? You do not have to be rich to buy green tags or whatever is available in your area!

1. well, individuals better start doing something, because its obvious that the government won't . . .
according to BushCo, we're going to experience a 19% increase in greenhouse gases in the coming decades . . . (and you can be sure that if they're admitting to 19%, the real figure is probably close to double that) . . .
