The Tallahassee Democrat reads:
"Floridians are concerned about the state's carbon footprint and many would support laws to reduce emissions and require auto manufacturers to sell cars and light trucks that emit fewer harmful greenhouse gases, according to a recent survey."
What survey is the Democrat referring to? The answer: Audubon of Florida's new climate survey which polled state legislators and voters about climate change policies in February 2009. Visit climateflorida.org to see the results of the survey. Look up what your Representative/Senator thinks about climate change.
From Eric Draper, Deputy Director of Audubon of Florida:
"Audubon of Florida launched its Take a Stand on Climate Change initiative today and we invite you to participate by visiting climateflorida.org. This initiative posed seven questions on climate and energy issues to Florida legislators and to Florida voters, in a statistically-sound poll of voters’ attitudes. The results show a majority of Floridians support state laws on renewable energy and vehicle emissions standards to reduce greenhouse gases. At climateflorida.org, the public’s views on climate change and state policy are posted, and each Florida Legislator is provided with a page on which responses to the same questions are made available to visitors. You can also send an email to legislators who have not responded to the questions, asking them to Take a Stand on Climate Change.
Too often important decisions are shielded from public view by the legislative process itself. We believe this initiative is a tool to stimulate dialogue with Legislators to enact solutions. "
