OVEC’s new web page, "Global Warming and West Virginia" provides a wealth of volunteer opportunities to take action. See www.ohvec.org/globalwarming/ for information on:

• Contacting your US senators and House of Representative members about supporting the Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act (S-309) and the House’s Safe Climate Act of 2007 (HR-1590).

• Contacting your local town council about signing the US Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement, which mirrors the Kyoto Agreement for greenhouse gas reductions.

• Opportunities to attend local climate change events and public presentations.

• Links to daily news on climate change and links to sites that can help you reduce your personal carbon footprint.

To share ideas and explore directions for OVEC global warming work, please e-mail vivian@ohvec.org or call Vivian at (304) 522-0246 ext. 2.
