i will post this so you can know more

The League of Conservation Voters has taken on a new campaign. From the press release:

In train stations, at bus stops, online, even on our coffee cups, Chevron ads are trying to convince us that the key to ending our energy crisis is individual action. Over pictures of everyday Americans, taglines from Chevron’s “Will You Join Us” ad campaign read:

“I will leave the car at home more.”
“I will take my golf clubs out of the trunk.”
“I will replace 3 light bulbs with CFLs.”
“I will finally get a programmable thermostat.”
“I will consider buying a hybrid.”

All good ideas, certainly, but no matter how many clubs they’re carrying in their golf bags, no matter how many light bulbs they change, no matter how hard they consider that hybrid, the folks at Chevron could probably do a little more.

They have included ‘new and improved’ posters Chevron might want to consider. Here is a sampling!

ABC is refusing to air a commercial from Al Gore’s We Campaign and continues to run commercials from Chevron.

Please go HERE and sign the petition demanding equal air time.

I have been saying this for a while, but I truly believe that each and everyone of us needs to know who is paying for our entertainment. If you do not agree with those companies, then you need to let your voice be heard by turning off the television.

I know it has been argued to me that hurting the employment of thousands, by boycotting entertainment, would be detrimental to our community. But I need to know.. do you choose for GNP instead of our home? Do you hurt millions of people to save thousands of people? Do you choose corporations over communities?

I don’t have the answers to these questions… well, that’s not true. I have MY answers to these questions. But can you stand behind your answers?
