  3. HOME DEPOT Home Depot is planting 300,000 trees in the US to help absorb carbon dioxide emissions. The CO2 emissions from the proposed new Cliffside plant, in just SIX DAYS of operations, would negate the entire effort.

  4. WAL-MART Wal-Mart is investing 1/2 billion dollars to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions of its existing buildings over the next seven years. If every Wal-Mart Supercenter met this target, the CO2 emissions from the proposed Cliffside plant, in less than THREE WEEKS of operation, would negate this entire effort.

  5. NORTH CAROLINA If every household in NC changed a 60-watt incandescent light bulb to a compact fluorescent, the CO2 emissions from the proposed Cliffside plant would, in 16 days of operation negate this entire effort.

  6. CALIFORNIA California passed legislation to cut CO2 emissions in new cars by 25% and in SUVs by 18%, starting in 2009. If every car and SUV sold in California in 2009 met these standards, the CO2 emissions from the proposed Cliffside plant would, in less than SIX MONTHS of operation each year, negate the entire effort.

  7. THERE IS A “SILVER BULLET” FOR SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING: NO MORE COAL! WITHOUT COAL, ALL THE POSITIVE EFFORTS UNDERWAY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PROTECT YOUR EFFORTS. STOP CLIFFSIDE!

  8. God bless the grass that grows thru the cracksThey roll the concrete over it to try and keep it backThe concrete gets tired of what it has to doIt breaks & it buckles and the grass grows thru.And God bless the grass. God bless the truth that fights toward the sunThey roll the lies over it & think that it is doneIt moves thru the ground & reaches for the airAnd after a while it is growing everywhereAnd God bless the grass God bless the grass that grows thru cementIt's green & it's tender & it's easily bent.But after a while it lifts up its headFor the grass is living & the stone is dead.And God bless the grass. God bless the grass that's gentle & lowIts roots they are deep and its will is to growAnd God bless the truth, the friend of the poorAnd the wild grass growing at the poor man's door.And God bless the grass.
