USE HALF NOW!

americans are currently using TWICE the energy of their european counterparts, and FOUR TIMES as much as asians. why are so few people addressing the underlying issue - that americans need to start USING LESS? there's a common misconception that solar panels are exorbitantly expensive (perhaps they are if you need enough to power the typical american excessive lifestyle...) , and that we just need to keep waiting around for better technology, or some sort of magic bullet that will enable us to "buy" our way out of the environmental crisis. this creates excuses for folks to put off doing anything until the perfect technology arrives. we have all the technology we need to cut our addiction to fossil fuel IMMEDIATELY - conservation is the most obvious, simple, cheap, immediate, and constructive method we have available to us! what if each of us vowed to use 50% of the resources we used last month this month? we could cut our emissions, fossil fuel use, and bills in half TODAY! let's get a minimum of 5,000 people to vow to use half by earth day, april 22, 2010.

we've got a fan page set up on facebook at USE HALF NOW CAMPAIGN.
