Closing in...but more pledges needed
As KCUR's public radio pledge week comes to a close, I know you are all probably tired of hearing requests to pledge. But, I need your help — and so does our planet.
Two weeks ago, I challenged you to help celebrate our new greener office by pledging to replace an old, incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb or any light marked with the government's "ENERGY STAR ®" rating.
As you recall, as an extra bit of motivation, Congressman Dennis Moore and I challenged each other to see who could sign up more people to participate in this month's "Change a Light, Change the World" campaign. We are catching up, but still losing badly to my friend Dennis, so let's go Missouri's "Fightin' Fifth!"

It's easy to do, saves the world and is a matter of state pride to beat Kansas' Third District! Be sure to check our progress this month:

Thanks to all who have signed up so far and let's keep the pledges coming!
