We have certain responsibilities as citizens of the global community, on the immense threats posed by climate change and other impacts from our dangerous Co2 emissions. we acknowledge our unenviable status: with a mere five percent of the world’s population, we generate one-quarter of climate-altering emissions, while consuming one-quarter of the earth's energy resources. Therefore, we must take immediate and comprehensive action to greatly reduce our carbon footprint. For the health of Earth’s ecosystems and future generations we must transform the ways we produce and consume energy in our individual households, communities, regions and nation.We are strongly prepared to respond to this challenge, despite the difficulties of changing our habits. Therefore, we concord on
1. To inform and educate ourselves about the energy we consume -- to know where it comes from, how it is produced, and what impacts that production and consumption has on other families, communities and environment.
2.To change the ways we consume energy in our households and daily lives, to reduce and end the harm to others and the planet caused by unsustainable production and habits.
3. To challenge and support community leaders to change the ways energy is produced and distributed in our community, develop policies and plans resulting in practices that significantly reduce harmful pollution and emissions, with time-bound targets to implement those changes.
