In association with the Stop Global Warming Virtual March (started by An Inconvenient Truth Producer, Laurie David), the NRDC (National Resource Defense Council) has released a new slick website that encourages each one of us to get involved and 'Beat The Heat.'

How's it work? Well, you simply enter in your name, where you live, what you're passionate about, and BAM!, you're on the map. There are several ways you committ yourself to helping — from buying energy efficient appliances to purchasing a hybrid to encouraging your state government to 'become a part of the solution'.

The site does a nice job of analyzing the severity of climate change from a practical view of 30,000 ft. For any friends or relatives still on the fence about the issue, such information is particularly helpful. For the committed environmentalist, there's a helpful form you can fill out to send to congress asking for support. The email specifically asks members to co-sponsor the Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act of 2007 — which caps greenhouse gas emissions. Of course, the Bush Administration still refuses to go near such restrictions so it will be interesting to see how well the legislation fares.

So, check out the site — and get your name up there! The more involved, the better!
