Sample Email in Support of Intro 20:

 

Dear Honorable Mayor Bloomberg,
I am writing to ask you to support Intro. 20, a bill that lays out concrete plans to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from New York City government operations to combat global climate change (a.k.a. "global warming"). 
Intro. 20 would:
-Create a framework of transparency with annual reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and efficiency plans submitted to taxpayers to ensure legal compliance with goals and targets. 
It also commits the city to 20% reductions of GHGs from a 1994 baseline by 2009 and stipulates further reductions of 25% by 2015 and 30% by 2020. This will make the government more efficient and cost-effective.  It creates a framework for involving private sector partners and it covers all city operations.
I strongly urge you to sponsor this important bill and encourage its passage into law by the city council. Given rising energy prices and the budget deficits faced by the city, a comprehensive program to reduce energy use by city operations makes very good economic sense and will save tax payers money by lower the operating the city operating budget. New York City must act now, act boldly, and be a leader in combating global warming. Other cities look to New York for leadership. By adopting innovative policy solutions, such as Intro.20, we can also make an impact beyond New York through leadership by example. 
Please help New York City move in the right direction and give Intro.20 your full and vocal support. 
Sincerely,
Your Constituent -                  

                    Your name
