Our elected leaders must understand that facilitating the green economy requires strong political leadership.  Reach out to your leaders in government.  Let them know that your vote depends on their support for comprehensive and ambitious green economic legislation.  Make them understand that you believe right-minded policies can create, not destroy jobs, and help transition to a low-carbon economy, just as countries like China are doing.  

If you don't know your elected representative in Congress or in your state, you can find their name and contact information at:

Write or call them whenever you have an issue of concern you want them to address.  Or just call to tell them of your overall concern for environmental or sustainable development issues.
