Like you, many of us at EDF are anxiously watching the election coverage, wanting to hear how candidates plan to tackle climate change. And so far, the near total silence isn't encouraging.

But that doesn't mean we can't make an impact, explains Sam Parry, EDF's membership director.

"Whether your elected officials are climate deniers or climate action advocates, they need to hear from you. Because, one thing is certain, in politics, the squeakiest wheels get the environmentally friendly, biodegradable lubricant," Parry says. "Let’s be squeaky wheels. Let’s declare ourselves Pro-Climate Voters. And let’s commit to using this political campaign to get our message across."

See Sam's 7 tips for getting the climate message out, loud and clear, in I'm Pro-Climate and I Vote," a post he penned for our Climate 411 blog.
