Green Day Teams With Green Group

In an effort to consciously evolve our practices in order to create a sustainable global environment, Green Day has teamed with green group Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in a major new campaign, Move America Beyond Oil. The campaign seeks to mobilize and give voice to music fans who demand clean, renewable energy solutions that in turn diminish our oil dependence.

The online community for the Move America Beyond Oil campaign is www.greendaynrdc.com , where visitors can watch exclusive video messages from the band and send personal messages to political leaders straight from the site – political activism made easy. In this, they will reach a new generation of online activists.

The campaign will kick off with a message to President Bush that will call for better fuel economy performance standards in our vehicles, more support for biofuels and sensible global warming pollution limits, as California and some recent other states have adopted. NRDC now has more than 1.2 million members, utilizing the power of online activism in order to create large-scale changes.
