It’s late and I can’t write much but I want to say something in praise of the new “We” campaign Al Gore launched today. Through the Alliance for Climate Protection, he’s kicking off a $300 million, 3-year campaign to educate the public about global warming and urge action from political leaders.
”We’re trying to get a movement happening to switch public opinion so that our leaders feel, ‘Wow! We really need to make this a top priority issue,”’ alliance CEO Cathy Zoi told The Associated Press.
“What has consistently been missing is a massive and sustained national effort to engage the public and mobilize the energy of the American people,” says the Alliance Campaign website. “The We campaign is such an effort.”
