Through energy efficiency, individuals and businesses have found that they can lower their carbon emissions swiftly while saving money. The Challenge works like a fund raising campaign in which participants pledge their carbon emission reductions instead of money. Cool Capital Challenge has already collected 1 billion pounds of carbon reduction pledges and we are on our way to 2 billion pounds of carbon reduction by 2009. This reduction will serve as both a springboard for more lasting solutions and business practices and as an inspiring model for the rest of the country. To make this reduction happen, immediate action is necessary. This is why our second slogan is Cool now which means Act now dont wait for others to take action. Through the Cool Capital Challenge website  HYPERLINK "http://www.coolcapital.org" www.coolcapital.org, a key tool in this campaign, households, businesses, and organizations can make electronic pledges to lower carbon emissions; learn how to save energy and money; make a real difference by becoming part of this regional effort; learn how to create teams to galvanize others, and learn from the wide range of resources that exist to help boost energy efficiency. Carbon-reduction pledges are reported and aggregated on the website and include partner organizations, teams formed and cumulative CO2 savings per partner or team. On phase II of the challenge, youth leaders will guide and OWN this campaign; youth will shape their own action plan to find a way to reach Cool Capital Challenges goal of connecting community to the climate crisis. With youths leadership, the community will learn how easy it is to save energy, money and environment. Working together, we will accomplish this initiatives goal of reducing carbon emissions in the DC region by 2 billion pounds by the end of 2009. The Cool Capital Challenge is a region-wide, voluntary collaborative of businesses, organizations, and individuals working to bring about an immediate and dramatic reduction in regional greenhouse gas emissions to lead the US in reversing global warming. Cool Capital Challenge strongly believes in the power of acting together to achieve a massive change as well as in the immediate action that is necessary to combat this issue. )*+,-G Z \ ] H v w 5 !"'1ﴥ讀讀yldXPPPh JOJQJhuhu5OJQJh7jOJQJhuhu0JOJQJ#jhuhuOJQJUjhuhuOJQJUhuhuOJQJhuhuB*OJQJph&jhuhuB*OJQJUph1jhuhuB*OJQJUmHnHphuhu5B*OJQJph huhu5B*OJQJph*,/12] ^ H K !"NOP$-DM a$gd8$-DM a$gdu $7$8$H$a$gdu$a$gdu $7$a$gdu$a$gdu $1$a$gdu1$gduQ$MNPQR۾hphuhuhu>*OJQJ huhu5B*OJQJphhuhuB*OJQJphh8hOJQJh8huOJQJ PQR$-DM a$gd8,1h/ =!"#$% Dd&`  C <A$thermometer_smallboj/>2-j%NDnoj/>2-j%NPNG  IHDRzs`PLTEtdWLF4db<|Ĝ\R4lnDt4tzTRT~`$*0̔dn tl"$|ʼ*LNelfTV1$$tr|DBDd,2Td^|D|lnl\ZcDddbL䬮t\\fdzT,:$<464LNLDFd"LlbL'xbKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Hs^IDAThC XSӯbmh6(` I4^%4/QT0$ BD-9+n8*>F1n$ PHe$N|sN@4; Ui\X:NN.{I57>y4cP ]2OU~XQ c_Q \5{,Q @H89S6ÒP٬jR;(1+fA_EE>h+.mWfS:7VO*E:lxb'z.*.:A?8>Kh|dlyg,`3,۳w7+l $0gUf8ߟoG`}xّ;WLK%!ᚋ&mC }`r]Fh3Hx݀U9'QC UsbP+ctq4p0:2FA| Crazg $@،\ _N>=}w ]}k h 6ɀOΒux`]FaC"UֳumG׼gFs}0G [9pgkW[isgUg|`۽άnm4\xWPlڲegF<?D@r=)茋S;|/X/տ.VR1y^Gs$ rl[?_I/+{?_4sm$iۣD݁^d%*K$p׈p p~_94Î7~QVMv[d~0 ]9bq\`HChΤ[o߄>p ܄sUo99CNW+JU?
