When it comes to mercury, a naturally occurring metal that can evaporate into a toxic, invisible vapor when released, Arizona's skies are not much dirtier or healthier than those of other states. AZ is 25th in the nation for mercury air emissions

Please Congratulate Al Gore on the Nobel Peace Prize

Target: Al Gore
Sponsor: Care2

(www.care2.com)

Signatures: 24,781
Goal: 100,000
Deadline: Ongoing...

The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Al Gore and the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their work to raise awareness about the threat of global warming.

With his passion and hard work, Al Gore has demonstrated that committed citizens can make a difference. He has inspired millions to stand together against one of the biggest challenges of our time.

This year's Nobel selection sends a strong message that to achieve peace we need to live in harmony with one another and with the environment. By stopping the destructive effects of global warming, we are not only preventing future conflicts ignited by lack of resources, but we are also fighting for our own survival.

Please take a few minutes to sign our petition to say "Congratulations!" to Al Gore for this remarkable achievement and urge him to continue his critical work to fight global warming!
