Tanaman Keladi Tikus untuk Kanker

Quoted from : http://www.wikimu.com/News/DisplayNews.aspx?id=5084

Penyakit kanker merupakan penyakit mematikan. Jarang ada pasien yang pulih 100 % dari penyakit ini. Salah satu mantan penderitanya adalah istri saya. Kebetulan saya mendapat artikel ini dari sebuah milis. Mudah-mudahan bisa bermanfaat.

Kanker semoga tidak lagi mematikan. Para penderita kanker di Indonesia dapat memiliki harapan hidup yang lebih lama dengan ditemukannya tanaman "KELADI TIKUS" (Typhonium Flagelliforme/ Rodent Tuber) sebagai tanaman obat yang dapat menghentikan dan mengobati berbagai penyakit kanker dan berbagai penyakit berat lain.

Tanaman sejenis talas dengan tinggi maksimal 25 sampai 30 cm ini hanya tumbuh di semak yang tidak terkena sinar matahari langsung. "Tanaman ini sangat banyak ditemukan di Pulau Jawa," kata Drs.Patoppoi Pasau, orang pertama yang menemukan tanaman itu di Indonesia.



Tanaman obat ini telah diteliti sejak tahun 1995 oleh Prof Dr Chris K.H.Teo,Dip Agric (M), BSc Agric (Hons)(M), MS, PhD dari Universiti Sains Malaysia dan juga pendiri Cancer Care Penang, Malaysia. Lembaga perawatan kanker yang didirikan tahun 1995 itu telah membantu ribuan pasien dari Malaysia, Amerika, Inggris, Australia, Selandia Baru, Singapura, dan berbagai negara di dunia.

Di Indonesia, tanaman ini pertama ditemukan oleh Patoppoi di Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah. Ketika itu, istri Patoppoi mengidap kanker payudara stadium III dan harus dioperasi 14 Januari 1998. Setelah kanker ganas tersebut diangkat melalui operasi, istri Patoppoi harus menjalani kemoterapi (suntikan kimia untuk membunuh sel) untuk menghentikan penyebaran sel-sel kanker tersebut.

"Sebelum menjalani kemoterapi,dokter mengatakan agar kami menyiapkan wig (rambut palsu) karena kemoterapi akan mengakibatkan kerontokan rambut, selain kerusakan kulit dan hilangnya nafsu makan," jelas Patoppoi.

Selama mendampingi istrinya menjalani kemoterapi, Patoppoi terus berusaha mencari pengobatan alternatif sampai akhirnya dia mendapatkan informasi mengenai penggunaan teh Lin Qi di Malaysia untuk mengobati kanker. "Saat itu juga saya langsung terbang ke Malaysia untuk membeli teh tersebut," ujar Patoppoi yang juga ahli biologi. Ketika sedang berada di sebuah took obat di Malaysia, secara tidak sengaja dia melihat dan membaca buku mengenai pengobatan kanker yang berjudul Cancer, Yet They Live karangan Dr Chris K.H. Teo terbitan 1996.

Begitu menemukan buku itu, saya malah tidak jadi membeli teh Lin Qi, tapi langsung pulang ke Indonesia. Di buku itulah Patoppoi membaca khasiat typhonium flagelliforme itu.

Berdasarkan pengetahuannya di bidang biologi, pensiunan pejabat Departemen Pertanian ini langsung menyelidiki dan mencari tanaman tersebut. Setelah menghubungi beberapa koleganya di berbagai tempat, familinya di Pekalongan Jawa Tengah, balas menghubunginya. Ternyata, mereka menemukan tanaman itu di sana. Setelah mendapatkan tanaman tersebut dan mempelajarinya lagi, Patoppoi menghubungi Dr. Teo di Malaysia untuk menanyakan kebenaran tanaman yang ditemukannya itu.

Selang beberapa hari, Dr Teo menghubungi Patoppoi dan menjelaskan bahwa tanaman tersebut memang benar Rodent Tuber. "Dr Teo mengatakan agar tidak ragu lagi untuk menggunakannya sebagai obat," lanjut Patoppoi. Akhirnya, dengan tekad bulat dan do'a untuk kesembuhan, Patoppoi mulai memproses tanaman tersebut sesuai dengan langkah-langkah pada buku tersebut untuk diminum sebagai obat. Kemudian Patoppoi menghubungi putranya, Boni Patoppoi di Buduran, Sidoarjo untuk ikut mencarikan tanaman tersebut.

Selama mengkonsumsi sari tanaman tersebut, isteri Patoppoi mengalami penurunan efek samping kemoterapi yang dijalaninya. Rambutnya berhenti rontok, kulitnya tidak rusak dan mual-mual hilang. Setelah tiga bulan meminum obat tersebut, isteri Patoppoi menjalani pemeriksaan kankernya. "Hasil pemeriksaan negatif, dan itu sungguh mengejutkan kami dan dokter-dokter di Jakarta," kata Patoppoi. Para dokter itu kemudian menanyakan kepada Patoppoi, apa yang diberikan pada isterinya. "Malah mereka ragu, apakah mereka telah salah memberikan dosis kemoterapi kepada kami," lanjut Patoppoi.

Setelah diterangkan mengenai kisah tanaman Rodent Tuber, para dokter pun mendukung Pengobatan tersebut dan menyarankan agar mengembangkannya. Apalagi melihat keadaan isterinya yang tidak mengalami efek samping kemoterapi yang sangat keras tersebut. Dan
pemeriksaan yang seharusnya tiga bulan sekali diundur menjadi enam bulan sekali. Tetapi karena sesuatu hal, para dokter tersebut tidak mau mendukung secara terang-terangan penggunaan tanaman sebagai pengobatan alternative.

Setelah beberapa lama tidak berhubungan, berdasarkan peningkatan keadaan isterinya, pada bulan April 1998, Patoppoi kemudian menghubungi Dr.Teo melalui fax untuk menginformasikan bahwa tanaman tersebut banyak terdapat di Jawa dan mengajak Dr. Teo untuk menyebarkan penggunaan tanaman ini di Indonesia. Kemudian Dr. Teo langsung membalas fax kami, tetapi mereka tidak tahu apa yang harus mereka perbuat, karena jarak yang jauh," sambung Patoppoi.

Kemudian, pada akhir Januari 2000 saat Jawa Pos mengulas habis mengenai meninggalnya Wing Wiryanto, salah satu wartawan handal Jawa Pos,Patoppoi sempat tercengang. Data-data rinci mengenai gejala, penderitaan, pengobatan yang diulas di Jawa Pos, ternyata sama dengan salah satu pengalaman pengobatan penderita kanker usus yang dijelaskan di buku tersebut. "Lalu saya langsung menulis di kolom Pembaca Menulis di Jawa Pos," ujar Boni.

Dan tanggapan yang diterimanya benar-benar diluar dugaan. Dalam sehari, bisa sekitar 30 telepon yang masuk. "Sampai saat ini, sudah ada sekitar 300 orang yang datang ke sini," lanjut Boni yang beralamat di Jl. KH. Khamdani, Buduran Sidoarjo.

Pasien pertama yang berhasil adalah penderita Kanker Mulut Rahim stadium dini. Setelah diperiksa, dokter mengatakan harus dioperasi. Tetapi karena belum memiliki biaya dan sambil menunggu rumahnya laku dijual untuk biaya operasi, mereka datang setelah membaca Jawa Pos. Setelah diberi tanaman dan cara meminumnya, tidak lama kemudian pasien tersebut datang lag dan melaporkan bahwa dia tidak perlu dioperasi, karena hasil pemeriksaan mengatakan negatif.

Dari pembicaraan mereka, Dr. Teo merekomendasi agar Patoppoi mendirikan perwakilan Cancer Care di Jakarta dan Surabaya. Maka secara resmi, Patoppoi dan putranya diangkat sebagai perwakilan lembaga sosial Cancer Care Indonesia, yang juga disebutkan dalam buletin bulanan Cancer Care, yaitu di Jl. Kayu Putih 4 No. 5, Jakarta, telp. 021-4894745, dan di Buduran, Sidoarjo.

Menurut data Cancer Care Malaysia, berbagai penyakit yang telah disembuhkan adalah berbagai kanker dan penyakit berat seperti kanker payudara, paru-paru, usus besar-rectum, liver, prostat, ginjal, leher rahim, tenggorokan, tulang, otak, limpa, leukemia, empedu, pankreas, dan hepatitis. Jadi diharapkan agar hasil penelitian yang menghabiskan milyaran Ringgit Malaysia selama 5 tahun dapat benar-benar berguna bagi dunia kesehatan.

Bagi teman-teman yang memerlukan informasi lebih lanjut sehubungan dengan artikel "Obat Kanker" bisa menghubungi perwakilan lembaga social "Cancer Care Indonesia" beralamat di Jl. Kayu Putih 4 no.5 Jakarta, telp : 021-4894745

Semoga pengobatan dengan tanaman obat dapat bermanfaat bagi para penderita kanker. Saya sendiri tidak tahu persis dari kebenaran informasi ini, bagi yang sudah pernah mencoba ataupun ingin mengechek informasinya silahkan saja menghubungi nomor di atas.

Sidang Tilang

Sharing buat semua yg pernah kena tilang dan memilih hadir di sidang pengadilan !

Sidang Tilang SIM
Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan
Selasa, 18 Desember 2007

And the story begins

Kena tilang karena lewat Zebra Cross di daerah Plaza Basmar daerah Mampang arah Selatan. setelah 'argue' sama polisinya, akhirnya SIM diminta dan di harap ke Pos Polisi nya di arah berlawanan. Tanpa banyak basa-basi di kasi 'slip merah' pasal 'salah jalan' walaupun sbnrnya lewat Zebra Cross pdhl lampu dah merah. tanya 'slip biru' jawab Briptu tsb: "Slip biru dah ga ada, atas instruksi Inspektur saya"... gitu katanya !

OK, slip merah aja. Kena pasal sekian lah.. ga mudeng.. cape dr kantor.
Awalnya diminta sidang tgl 8 Januari 2008 (wekk *.. lama kali !), dengan alasan libur natal and tahun baru.
**Oooo... For information, sidang tilang hanya ada setiap hari Selasa setiap minggunya jam 0900 sampai selesai.

Trus sobat Briptu nyeletuk.. tgl 18 Dec 2007 aja...
OK ! dalam hati.. CUTI lahhh...


sama2 ga niat 'damai' nich !
For the record... mending jgn nyoba 'damai', bisa kena pasal 'penyuapan'.. begitu yg beredar di milis and forum.

Akhirnya tanda tangan di slip merah (baca: surat tilang), SIM ditahan, slip merah di beri and Pulang... !

Pesan dr Pak Briptu:
1. Dtg sidang nya PAGEE !
2. Slip Merah JANGAN HILANG !

Soo... slip merah jadi SIM sementara :-)

@ the court house

Tiba @ exactly 07.50 pagi. Baru kasi sen kiri, dah ada seseorang berjaket yg 'berbaik hati' bantu parkirin mobil. pikir2.. kayaknya 'calo' nich !
Pas turun lgs di tanya: "Sidang SIM pak ?"
"Iya nich !"
"Mau diambilin ga ?"
"Ga usah dech !"
"Coba liat dulu 'slip merah' nya... klo ga jadi ga pa pa.."
Kasi liat slip merah.. dgn pedenya bapak yg 'baik hati' bilang:
"Kena 86 ribu lima ratus nich ! Mau dibantu ga ? ga usah ngantri.. lama !"
"ga usah dech makasih.. liat dulu di dalem..!" "Makasih.. "
#1. Siapkan Uang Tunai & Dateng Pageee.... !!!
#2. Ga perlu pake calo and tolak calo dg ramah :-)

Inget.. ini di Pengadilan Negeri JAKSEL...
masuk ke lorong di sebelah kiri... 10 M ada loket pendaftaran sidang di sebelah kanan. loket nya 'SAMSAT TILANG'. tukar 'the powerful red slip :-)' dgn nomor urut. perhatikan juga apa nomornya yg dikasi berdasarkan urutan or ngga..

#3. Ambil nomor di loket 'SAMSAT TILANG'

Dp no urut #047. dah dtg pagee dapet no 47.. ga salah nich... mudah2an ga lama deh...
Masuk.. liat yg banyak orang2 pd ngumpul.. Ruang Sidang 1 (Kartika).. kayaknya familiar nich di infotainment tempat artis2 sidang cerai apa ya.. ? he3...

Trus nunggu deh.. untung bawa buku..

#4. Inget.. bawa buku or apapun (or siapapun he3..) yg bisa temenin waiting time...

Semestinya mulai jam 0900, tp seperti biasa dan 'HANYA DI INDONESIA' (masa ya..?), baru mulai jam 0923.
Akhirnya dipanggil juga nomor 047.. ditanya pak Hakim:
"Salah Jalan ?"
"Bukan Pak.. lewat Zebra Cross pdhl dah Merah"
"35 ribu ya Pak"
nah lhooo.. ga salah denger kan ? trus ke loket belakang ruang sidang buat bayar and ambil SIM nya..
bayar pake 50 ribuan and kembalian nya 16 ribu... nah lhooo lagii...

#5. Bayar denda and ambil SIM

Ya sudah lah... ambil aja... Yg penting dah beres urusan ! jam 09.32... ternyata ga lama...

Tambahan bdsarkan pengamatan:
Ada yg aneh... koq kayaknya Hakim memutuskan denda bdsarkan 'penampilan' juga..
ga pake HELM denda 45 ribu.. ga punya SIM 40 ribu.. koq bisa...
Malahan ada yg dah disebut 45 ribu trus ga jd dan ketok palu 40 ribu...
Wallaahu a'lam dech !
Pas pulang lihat yg antri di loket pendaftaran.. masya Allaah... untung dateng pageee...
Sempet tanya juga jam berapa loket pendaftaran 'SAMSAT TILANG' dibuka... ktnya jam 10.. welehh... yg bener aja... td sampe jam 0750 dah buka koq...

So.. mendingan ga nyogok and ga pake calo kan... kirain 75 ribu (kata BRIPTU) or 86 ribuan (kata CALO) ternyata 35 ribu (kata HAKIM) dan bayar 34 ribu (kata petugas loket pengambilan)....

Semoga bermanfaat !!!

#1. Siapkan Uang Tunai & Dateng Pageee.... !!!
#2. Ga perlu pake calo and tolak calo dg ramah :-)
#3. Ambil nomor di loket 'SAMSAT TILANG'
#4. Inget.. bawa buku or apapun (or siapapun he3..) yg bisa temenin waiting time...

Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming

Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming

Global warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We
don't have to wait for governments to solve this problem: each one
of us can bring an important help adopting a more responsible
lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's the only
reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.

Here is a list of 50 simple things that everyone can do in order
to fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon: some
of them are at no cost, some other require a little investment but
can help you save a lot of money, in the middle-long term!

This page can be found also online at URL: http://globalwarming-facts.info/50-tips.html
  1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
    CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

  2. Install a programmable thermostat
    Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your energy bill.

  3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer
    Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy has more tips for saving energy on heating and cooling.

  4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
    Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

  5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases
    Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most efficient models available.

  6. Do not leave appliances on standby
    Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.

  7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket
    You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.

  8. Move your fridge and freezer
    Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.

  9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly
    Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.

  10. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long period
    When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2 emissions.

  11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing
    This requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer (wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost.

  12. Get a home energy audit
    Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy specialist.

  13. Cover your pots while cooking
    Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!

  14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full
    If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting. There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.

  15. Take a shower instead of a bath
    A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and provide the same comfort.

  16. Use less hot water
    It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot.

  17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible
    You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6 months out of the year.

  18. Insulate and weatherize your home
    Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can save another 1,700 pounds per year. Energy Efficient has more information on how to better insulate your home.

  19. Be sure you’re recycling at home
    You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste your household generates. Earth 911 can help you find recycling resources in your area.

  20. Recycle your organic waste
    Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul.

  21. Buy intelligently
    One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of 0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.

  22. Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can
    You will also cut down on waste production and energy use!

  23. Reuse your shopping bag
    When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.

  24. Reduce waste
    Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g. during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch boxes.

  25. Plant a tree
    A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with membership.

  26. Switch to green power
    In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources such as wind and solar. The Green Power Network is a good place to start to figure out what’s available in your area.

  27. Buy locally grown and produced foods
    The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.

  28. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen
    Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.

  29. Seek out and support local farmers markets
    They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you by one fifth. You can find a farmer’s market in your area at the USDA website.

  30. Buy organic foods as much as possible
    Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!

  31. Eat less meat
    Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.

  32. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking mass transit wherever possible
    Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area.

  33. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
    Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.com runs a free national service connecting commuters and travelers.

  34. Don't leave an empty roof rack on your car
    This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10% due to wind resistance and the extra weight - removing it is a better idea.

  35. Keep your car tuned up
    Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.

  36. Drive carefully and do not waste fuel
    You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose proper gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead of the pedal brake when possible and turn off your engine when your vehicle is motionless for more than one minute. By readjusting your driving style you can save money on both fuel and car mantainance.

  37. Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re properly inflated
    Proper inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference!

  38. When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle
    You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3 miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency on FuelEconomy and on GreenCars websites.

  39. Try car sharing
    Need a car but don’t want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and insurance. Many companies – such as Flexcar - offer low emission or hybrid cars too! Also, see ZipCar.

  40. Try telecommuting from home
    Telecommuting can help you drastically reduce the number of miles you drive every week. For more information, check out the Telework Coalition.

  41. Fly less
    Air travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly. You can also offset your air travel by investing in renewable energy projects.

  42. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
    You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home by actively encouraging other to take action.

  43. Join the virtual march
    The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring people concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the hundreds of thousands of other people urging action on this issue.

  44. Encourage the switch to renewable energy
    Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. Take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar.

  45. Protect and conserve forest worldwide
    Forests play a critial role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere - deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Conservation International has more information on global warming and forests.

  46. Consider the impact of your investments
    If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and savings will have on global warming. Check out SocialInvest and Ceres to can learn more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products and projects that address issues related to climate change.

  47. Make your city cool
    Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. 194 cities nationwide representing over 40 million people have made this pledge as part of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. Find out how to make your city a cool city.

  48. Tell Congress to act
    The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it.

  49. Make sure your voice is heard!
    Americans must have a stronger commitment from their government in order to stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won’t come without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the facts about U.S. politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!
