With the world population swelling at over 6 billion people on this planet, it is now more important than ever for our world leaders to implement strong legislation to help curtail the enormous amount of environmental degradation that is occurring around the globe. It is unthinkable why more environmentally friendly means for energy are not being utilized. Wind, solar, and geothermal power are all viable and clean sources of alternative energy that are often less costly and considerably more healthy for the environment when compared to oil and coal. It is time for our world leaders to stand-up to the big oil and coal industries and start creating stronger environmental laws and creating initiatives for environmental jobs and innovation. This petition is being sent to Barak Obama to ask him to lead the world in this regard by being the number one pro-environmental leader on the planet. If we don't start making drastic changes, this world will not be sustainable for future generations. Thank you.
