Can you guess what’s missing from the pledge? (via Tom Nelson)
“I pledge my name in support of a better tomorrow, one fueled by clean energy. I demand action from the world’s leaders to work toward developing clean energy solutions. I pledge to demand action from our leaders. And I pledge to share this global promise. By uniting our voices, we have the power to change the world.“
That’s right, there’s absolutely nothing about actually implementing any changes within their own lives to reduce their own greenhouse gas output. Shocking!
Tom also points out that the new pledge is considerably watered down and generic when compared to the Live Earth pledge. Which did not get people to walk the talk, either. Of course, that was tough in many places where it was abnormally cold, like in South Africa, where it snowed and was too cold to perform.
“I’ll swear anything you like!”
“A facility with oaths is not really a recommendation.”
