Join the Stop Global Warming Virtual March on Washington

Global warming is the number one environmental problem of our time. Unless we reduce global warming pollution now, average temperatures could rise another three to nine degrees in the United States by the end of the century, causing more heat waves, air pollution, droughts, wildfires, rising sea levels and flooding. In addition to its far-reaching impacts on people, global warming may prove disastrous to the wildlife of Greater Yellowstone, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and other vulnerable ecosystems that are already suffering the effects of a changing climate.

That's why the Natural Resources Defense Council (NDRC) has signed on as a partner organization to the "Stop Global Warming Virtual March on Washington." This unprecedented online effort is led by NRDC president John Adams, NRDC senior attorney Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Senator John McCain and other environmental leaders. Together, we will demand that Congress and the Bush administration take the necessary and long-overdue steps to reverse potentially catastrophic changes in the Earth's climate.

The Virtual March on Washington will "move" across the United States from one town to the next, educating people about how global warming is already affecting our environment, and highlighting personal stories along the way. Through an interactive map, you can track the progress of the march in real time as more and more people join.

What You Can Do

We encourage you to march with us--and enlist others as well--so that our growing numbers will help light a fire under Congress and the White House.
