Dear Scotty, Tomorrow, thousands of young leaders will gather here in Washington to help solve the climate crisis: the greatest challenge the world has ever faced. At the Power Shift 2011 Conference, they'll learn how to build the clean energy future that is essential to our planet's survival. Al Gore will deliver the keynote address Friday night. He will discuss the overwhelming evidence of climate change and show attendees how we can bring clean, renewable energy to America and the world. It will be a must-see event -- and you don't have to miss out. Former Vice President Gore's speech will be streamed live on the Power Shift website: http://www.powershift2011.org/live Tomorrow, April 15, at 7:05 p.m. ET, click that link to watch the speech streamed live.

It's so important that we are bringing 20 of Repower America's best young activists from around the country to Washington so they'll have the chance to participate. Young leaders will be trained to go back to their communities and help take the next step in the movement to solve the climate crisis.

Re: We're going BIG, and we're taking your voice to D.C.

Dear friends,

When we started our campaign to take on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we knew they had deep pockets. We knew they'd fight back. And we knew it wouldn't be easy.

But we also knew that no amount of money can stand up to an engaged, educated, and passionate group of people. That's why we're thrilled that this campaign is growing daily--in depth, breadth, and creativity.

Over 6000 business owners and tens of thousands of supporters have already declared their opposition to "business as usual" at the U.S. Chamber. We are thrilled with this early surge--but we still need many more people on board to really tip the balance of power.

To get big enough to make a big impact, we're going BIG. Really big. And we need your help.

On Monday, April 18th many of the 10,000 college students attending the Powershift conference in Washington D.C. will take to the streets outside of the headquarters of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to help us really underscore the connections between money, politics and climate legislation. Since the U.S. Chamber is right across the street from the White House we hope that this huge action will be a wake up call for legislators, business people (and Presidents too).

You can join this wake-up call from your own community with a simple action: send us a quote today.

Help show that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington D.C. is out of touch with the clean energy future that our country truly needs. 

We're collecting quotes that complete the sentence "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Doesn't Speak For Me Because ___________________." 

Please take two minutes to submit a quick quote on this page. We'll select the best quotes, print them on big signs, and bring them with us to the rally outside of the U.S. Chamber headquarters in D.C.

Of course, we'd love it if you joined us there in person--but if you can't make it, we'll bring your voices directly to the U.S. Chamber for you.

Onwards,

Phil Aroneanu for the whole team at 350.org

P.S. If you know local business owners who aren't yet part of this campaign, please forward this letter on so we can build this groundswell. Many thanks!

Roof System-Generates Clean Photovoltaic Energy

If you are considering a new roof, you should consider a white roof and a solar system on that roof at the same time. A cool roof reduces building cooling requirements by lowering the temperature of the roof and the building underneath. This means cooling equipment savings and in many cases the ability to run less air conditioning or purchase smaller air conditioning units.

You may even increase the life of your roof. By lowering the roof temperature, roofing products may last longer due to less thermal stress over time. Our non-penetrating design means less opportunity for leaks from your new roof.

While it makes great economic sense, a cool roof also makes an important statement about your commitment to reducing your building’s impact on the environment.  One clear environment benefit comes as cool roofs reduce the “heat island” effect in cities, lowering average outside air temperatures. Lower the outside air temperature and you need even less cooling. In fact, U.S. Energy Secretary, Steven Chu said that “whitening the world’s roofs and roads would have the same effect on global warming as removing all the world’s cars for 11 years.”
