From high gas prices, to exreme weather patterns, it seems like everyone is suddenly talking about the energy crisis, global warming, and climate change. Unfortunately, a lot of this discussion has been marked by lack of creative vision when it comes to solutions, and instead we are seeing old ideas like nuclear power and offshore drilliing being introduced again.


We need to take action to make sure that our leaders start taking proactive action that can bring about real change in reducing global warming. One way to let elected officials and candidates know that you want them to take this issue seriously is to write letters to your local papers. These letters are often read by  elected officials and candidates and let them know that their constituents demand action on this issue.

Step 1 - Select a Recipient

Letter to the Editor

The Letter to the Editor Section is one of the most widely read sections of the newspaper and can reach a large audience. It allows community members to comment on the way issues are being addressed in the media and to influence the topics the local paper may choose to cover. Elected officials often monitor this section of the newspaper and take notice of constituents' opinions.

We've made it easy for you to contact your local newspaper with your views, but editors want to hear from you in your own words.
