It's Energy Independence Day!

Fortunately, more and more Americans are picking energy smart appliances, walking instead of driving, and encouraging our elected officials to support legislation that creates clean energy jobs.
On that last note, Repower America has a 4th of July pledge on their site, letting you declare that you want our country to:
1. create jobs here at home that stay at home
2. end our dangerous reliance on foreign oil
3. do right by our children (i.e. save the planet from self-destruction)
The signatures on this pledge will be delivered to the Senate, to encourage them to pass the groundbreaking Clean Energy Bill that Congress passed last week.
Other ways you can declare your Energy Independence and celebrate the 4th of July include:
- ride your bike to the fireworks instead of driving
- bring a refillable water bottle (for some of us, a.k.a. "flask") instead of buying individual bottles or cans
- check out this list of energy-efficient ways to stay cool from Sustain Lane.
Enjoy the holiday!
