Green Day is at the center of a new campaign to encourage fans to clean up the world by demanding renewable energy solutions.
The Move America Beyond Oil campaign is in association with the Natural Resources Defense Center and a website has been set up at www.greendaynrdc.com to kick the project along."This campaign is about channeling the power of millions into something positive and powerful. People are sick of our oil addiction and feel like nobody is doing anything about it," said Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day's lead singer and guitarist in a statement. "The solutions are there, the support is there, but the leadership is not. Our message is that it's okay, and very rebellious, to take on that responsibility."
Visitors to the site will be able to send text messages to politicians urging them to make changed for the environment.
The initial message is targeted to President Bush, urging him to create new laws for better fuel economy and support sensible global warming pollution limits.
Our of all civilized nations in the world, the American and Australian governments stand alone as environmental terrorists.
Visitors will also have access to a brand new tool that allows them to send text messages directly from their cell phones to lawmakers and corporate leaders, no matter where they are, simply by sending "GD" to 30644.
