Mais uma mensagem Green Day + NRDC

Dear Ana,

This is a public service announcement from Yours Truly!

Toyota wants everyone to think they are green -- but behind the
scenes, they are working against progress.

More than a million people bought a Prius hybrid from Toyota
because they want to do the right thing for our planet. Hybrid
cars are great because they can go many more miles on a gallon
of gas than a regular car can, so they put out less of the
pollution that is causing global warming.

Right now, Congress is working on a bill that could get car
companies to manufacture cars that are more like the Prius, cars
that can go an average of at least 35 miles on every gallon of
gas. This would be the first improvement in U.S. fuel economy
standards in almost 20 years, and it would save America 1.2
million barrels of oil every day. That is more oil than we
import from Saudi Arabia.

But now Toyota is copping out. It's hard to believe, but the
company that makes the Prius and other super-efficient hybrids
is trying to stop Congress from taking the strongest possible
action to make cars more efficient.

Go to
http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_globalwarming_toyota
and tell Toyota to stop lobbying against the 35 miles per gallon
by 2020 standard!

The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers -- the powerful
lobbying group that Toyota is an active member of -- is saying
the goal of making cars by 2020 that get an average of 35 miles
per gallon is "unattainable." That makes no sense, since Toyota
is making the Prius, which gets almost 50 miles per gallon,
right now!

Toyota advertises itself as the greenest car company. That
company needs to walk the walk. Go to
http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/greenday_globalwarming_toyota
now. Tell Toyota to stop fighting progress and start fighting
global warming!

Thanks for taking action to reduce America's dangerous
dependence on oil.

Yours truly,

Billie Joe Armstrong

P.S. If you or your family own a Toyota hybrid or are thinking
about buying one, please say that in your online message to
Toyota.

Nova Mensagem Green Day + NRDC

Acabei de receber umaa nova mensagem... fica aqui o seu conteúdo para quem ainda não faz parte da lista Green Day + NRDC (e para quem ainda não faz parte da lista ainda vai a tempo de se poder juntar):


Dear Ana,

I just heard that Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize for his
work in the fight against global warming. I think it's great
that this issue is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
It's becoming a part of our everyday lives. People aren't just
talking about it, we're really starting to live it. And I feel
that Al Gore has been very influential in bringing this into the
mainstream. Kudos to you, Al Gore.

Sincerely,

Billie Joe Armstrong

Green Day têm 45 canções prontas para novo álbum

Green Day têm 45 canções prontas para novo álbum
Billie Joe Armstrong, vocalista dos Green Day, disse ao NME que tem prontas «cerca de 45 canções» para o novo álbum da banda.
Segundo Armstrong, «Temos imensa música - algo como 45 canções... É o caos total... Quero mergulhar em quem sou e no que estou a sentir neste momento - estou a sentir-me de meia-idade. Fazemos isto há quase 20 anos. Queremos ter a certeza de que estamos a ser sinceros connosco próprios». Billie Joe adiantou ainda que não há uma data prevista para a edição do álbum. A notícia avançada pelo NME dá conta também do facto de muito do novo material ter sido escrito ao piano e não com a guitarra.
