Live Earth 7 pledges
08 July 2007
My work as a business coach and mentor is to help my clients deal with the environmental and ecological difficulties that we are creating. Here are the 7 Pledges that were released before the Live Earth concerts on July 7th. Our planet needs all of us, including the politicians, to sign up to these pledges immediately to give us the best possible chance of achieving the Kyoto agreement reductions.
After reading this tip sheet, you will:

- be able to inspire others to play their part in helping reduce consumption and pollution
- realise that we all need act to stop the constant increase in pollution
- understand that we need to decrease the use of private transport and increase our use of public transport
- have some easy to follow guidelines in what you can do to help
Seven Pledges to help Save our Planet in crisis…
- Demand that my country join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90 percent in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth.
- Take personal action to help solve the climate crises by reducing my own C02 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral”.
- Fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the C02.
- Work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation.
- Fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal.
- Plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests.
- Buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crises and building a sustainable, just and prosperous world for the 21st century.
