Lucas,
Every day, people ask us what they can do about the catastrophe in the Gulf. Here's one critical thing: end our addiction to oil.
Our friends at The Center for Biological Diversity and 350.org took a historic step in the desperate fight against climate change when they petitioned the EPA to establish a national cap for greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act. The petition seeks to cap CO2 emissions at the level leading scientists say is necessary to avoid the worst impacts of global warming.

Public Citizen has joined the more than 100 groups signed on in support of this petition. Tens of thousands of individuals are lending their names, including leading climate scientist, Dr. James Hansen, author Barbara Kingsolver, musician Bonnie Raitt, and actor Ed Begley, Jr.
Please take one minute to join us in moving toward a real solution to oil spills by calling on the EPA to do its job as science, the law, the tragedy in the Gulf, and common sense require.

Thank you for taking the next step toward ending our dependency on oil and preventing future oil spill disasters.
Thanks for all you do,
