Take Action For This Cause 
There is a section of the Pacific Ocean twice the size of the continental United States called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Within it, 100 million tons of plastic swirl in a vortex of currents. There is so much plastic in the water that it outnumbers zooplankton by six to one!
This plastic ends up in the stomachs of marine birds and animals. In fact, one million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals die globally each year due to ingestion of or entanglement in plastics.
Plastic is forever, with virtually every piece of petroleum based plastic ever made still in existence. That's why it's so critical to our oceans and beaches that we dramatically reduce our use of plastics, especially single-use plastics, starting today.
You can make a difference for our world's oceans, waves and beaches -- pledge to rise above plastics today.
THE PLEDGE
I commit to do my part to rise above plastics and protect the world's oceans, waves and beaches from plastic pollution. I will do this by:
* Using reusable bottles for my water and other drinks. By using just one reusable bottle, I will keep 167 single-use plastic bottles from entering the environment.
* Using cloth bags for groceries and other purchases. For each reusable bag I use, I will save approximately 400 plastics from being used.
* Recycling the plastic bags and bottles I already have. For every thirteen plastic bags I don't use, I will save enough petroleum to drive a car one mile.
Take the Pledge here!

At the ZEV RALLY I plan to demand that they build more MRFs. These are Material Recovery Facilities.
These recycling plants have the ability to sort ALL garbage from a single stream. That means no more sorting your recycle items,AND they could go and scoop up a land fill and dump it in.

Hello:
After watching "WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR?" I took it to heart that the consumers were part of the problem. That we didn't show our demand for the vehicles.I was actually hoping to get EVERYONE on board with my idea to help me make a human chain from California to North Carolina, and from Mexico to Canada.You are permitted to have signs that support their "cause" as it affects global warming and pollution, but also requested to support the electric vehicle by placing the word ZERO or just the number on the roof of their cars.
Thank you. JP James Poch

  Why I Support This Cause! We all need it:
Air is what we breathe, it's what gives us life, without it, we'd all be dust and, therefore, dead. So come on, protect your lungs and those around you; protect the earth so that we'll be able to breathe clean air for a long time and so that whoever comes after us will be able to breathe freely too. I want to be able to feel the fresh, crisp air, not see the smog surrounding me.
