Hundreds Pledge to Reduce Oil Use at Hands Across the Sand
More than 400 demonstrators showed up at Key West's Smathers Beach to show unity in the stand against off shore oil drilling and to support clean alternative energy.
Oil spills are terrible. We all abhor what BP has done to the water, the wildlife, and the way of life of citizens of the Gulf of Mexico and the world. However, we need to understand the connection between OUR consumption of oil and the aggressive manner in which oil companies are feeding our addiction.
Join the Florida Keys green movement to manifest clean renewable energy solutions for the Keys while pledging to reduce your consumption of fossil fuels and products made from petrochemicals.
Take the pledge to reduce your use of oil and all fossil fuels by 10%, starting today.
