“Gore’s foot soldiers”

Time magazine called them “Al Gore’s foot soldiers,” people who have been trained to give the same presentation he gives in his movie “An Inconvenient Truth.”
The goal is to challenge governments and others to do something about global warming.
I hope to write about a woman from Westchester who has become a presenter for The Climate Project in an upcoming column.
In the meantime, here are a few things it suggests you can do to cut the amount of carbon dioxide produced each year. They are not new, but worth remembering. There are more “here.”:www.theclimateproject.
Change a light
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Drive less
Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive!
Recycle more
You can save 2.400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
Check your tires
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%.
Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
