To: President Donald Trump
I Pledge Not to Drive Anywhere on February 17
I'd love to go to the Forward on Climate rally in DC on Sunday, Feb. 17. I'd love to go to one of the solidarity rallies, too, to show President Obama how important it is for him to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, but I can't.
I CAN pledge to leave my car in the driveway that day, though, and bike, walk or take transit wherever I need to go. Rain, snow or shine. Who's with me?
It may be a small thing to do, but actions speak louder than words. Many petitions, sadly, are easily signed and easily ignored. This is a chance for everybody to participate in burgeoning movement, REFUSE to participate for one day in the fossil-fuel addiction at issue, and what's more to demonstrate a constructive alternative.
Let's see how many people we can get to take the pledge.

Why is this important?
A way for anyone to show solidarity with the important climate rally in DC on Feb. 17, by one day of non-participation in oil dependence.
