Actor Ed Asner is lending his voice to My Gulf Action, a new online campaign where Americans can pledge to reduce fossil fuel consumption.

“The Gulf oil spill is a terrible tragedy that never should have happened,” says Asner. “Thanks to MyGulfAction.com, you can be part of the solution. Join today and start pledging to reduce your energy use. Together, we can offset the oil that has leaked into the Gulf —and can work to end America’s reliance on unsustainable fossil fuels.”

My Gulf Action, launched by SmartPower, the nation’s leading non-profit marketers of clean renewable energy and energy efficiency, allows concerned citizens to monitor how their responsible actions can assist the campaign in reaching its ultimate goal of offsetting every drop of oil that has leaked into the Gulf.

“It’s time for Americans to take action – not just throw up our hands and look to President Obama, the Coast Guard and BP,” said Brian F. Keane, President of SmartPower. “With My Gulf Action, everyone can channel our collective frustration into positive change and set our nation and the world on a dramatically sounder course.”

The campaign is a collaboration between SmartPower, Climate Culture, 350.org, Waterkeeper Alliance and Save Our Gulf, League of Conservation Voters, Clean Water Action, Center for Resource Solutions, and Gulf Future.
