Nationwide, the signs are clear: Our economy is in trouble. Falling home prices, foreclosures, bank failures, a weaker dollar, rising prices for gas, food, and steel, and layoffs in banking, construction, and manufacturing sectors are all indicators of serious economic strain—following a long period in which the middle class went nowhere even while the economy grew as a whole. Whats more, evidence suggests the current downturn will continue for at least another year.</p> <p>At the same time, we face a growing climate crisis that will require us to rapidly invest in new energy infrastructure, cleaner sources of power, and more efficient use of electricity and fuels in order to cut global warming pollution. There is much work to be done in building smart solutions at a scale and speed that is bold enough to meet this gathering challenge.</p> <p>It is time for a new vision for the economic revitalization of the nation and a restoration of American leadership in the world. We must seize this precious opportunity to mobilize the country and the international community toward a brighter, more prosperous future. At the heart of this opportunity is clean energy, remaking the vast energy systems that power the nation and the world. We must fundamentally change the way we produce and consume energy and dramatically reduce our dependence on oil. The economic opportunities provided by such a transformation are vast, not to mention the national security benefits of reducing oil dependence and the pressing need to fight global warming. The time for action is now.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/54376-the-greening-of-newark-transforming-a-city">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46914-cgi-commitment-to-improve-coffee-production 2008-10-06T16:35:24Z Clinton Foundation <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/d0Fr6Lmw9I8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/d0Fr6Lmw9I8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46914-cgi-commitment-to-improve-coffee-production"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55467" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Starbucks has made a CGI commitment to pay more for coffee in order to fund a series of programs in Narino, Colombia, that aim to reduce illegal drug production by improving economic stability.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46914-cgi-commitment-to-improve-coffee-production">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46913-cgi-commitment-to-play-basketball-for-peace 2008-10-06T16:35:24Z Clinton Foundation <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WyInoMdKfmQ&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WyInoMdKfmQ&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46913-cgi-commitment-to-play-basketball-for-peace"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55466" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>This CGI commitment has resulted in a program called Playing for Peace, a basketball camp for Arab and Jewish children.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46913-cgi-commitment-to-play-basketball-for-peace">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46910-microcredit-summit-2006 2008-10-06T16:35:24Z Clinton Foundation <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SrofWqPAkYo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SrofWqPAkYo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46910-microcredit-summit-2006"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55463" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The Microcredit Summit Campaign is working to provide fair access to credit so that people can fight poverty on their own terms.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/46910-microcredit-summit-2006">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46889-cgi-commitment-to-educate-arab-and-israeli-children 2008-10-06T16:35:24Z Clinton Foundation <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oq8YIMKAelo&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Oq8YIMKAelo&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46889-cgi-commitment-to-educate-arab-and-israeli-children"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/55438" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>This CGI commitment has resulted in a village in Israel in which 50 Jewish and Arab families live side by side.
