From the "if you don't believe something, you'll believe anything files", the "Gore Challenge" (via Greenie Watch):
As a believer:
- that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival;
- that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;
- that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and
- that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;
- I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by one year from today
Note by selecting the "household" as the target, the energy profligate lifestyles -- first class seating, private planes, entourage, limos, SUVs, powertoys, cottages, etc. -- of the privileged are exempt from examination; whereas almost 100% of Joe Everyman's life is up for grabs.
