A Noble Call For Sacrifice

Sen. Edwards' campaign has done a cool thing in conjunction with National Climate Action Day on April 14. Reduce Your Carbon is a pledge that you sign to take several steps (reducing your driving, replacing light bulbs with compact fluorescents, keeping your tires inflated, lowering your thermostat) to reduce their carbon footprint. This is smart and affordable besides. The worst thing you can do in this country, it seems, is to ask people to sacrifice. Sen. Edwards should be commended for crossing this third rail of American politics.

I'll have more thoughts on Edwards later today or tomorrow.
