Arnold Schwarzenegger has just broken his type cast. Usually when people look at our governor they see; the Last Action Hero, a Commando, or even a Kindergarten Cop, but now he has rewritten himself. Rewritten himself as the current political authority on the environment in the United States. How has he down this? By passing laws making California one of the most, if not the most toughest state on pollution in the union, and by holding an environmental meeting in Beverly Hills of global proportions. Today and yesterday mark the two day meeting Arnold has setup in Southern California for over 800 representatives from around the nation and world to come together and discuss solutions for our global epidemic. These 800 include representatives from; almost two-thirds of the states in our union, 4 provincial heads of Canada, as well as representatives from Europe, India and China. These last couple days have been so successful that the governor was able to sign climate treaties among other states and Canadian provinces. The initiative taken on the state level, that has been ignored by the federal level should be noted. If our national government doesn't want to deal with the current global problem it's good to know that our great state will.
Yeah, I know Al Gore is supposed to be Captain Planet, but come on Arnold looks so much more like him.
