So you take personal responsibility to curb global warming by getting your home energy-efficient. Then you start working with your mayor toward creating a Cool City that's doing its part, too. But decision-makers at the federal level just don't seem to be on board with the game plan.

Send a message to President Bush that America deserves a better energy future, and that he needs to take the lead to get us heading in the right direction.

Please sign our Global Warming petition.

All over America, communities are taking action to help solve global warming. From hybrid vehicle fleets in Charlotte, to green buildings in Austin, and homes powered with renewable energy in Seattle, local governments are moving forward with innovative energy solutions that curb global warming, save taxpayer dollars, and create healthier cities. At a time when the federal government is failing to act, these local leaders are moving America toward a safer and more secure future.

So what is a Cool City? These are cities that have made a commitment to stopping global warming by signing the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. The Cool Cities campaign helps cities turn their commitments into action by pushing for smart energy solutions.
