MEDIA RELEASE
Iowa Green Party To protest the war on Iraq, we support a "Gasoline-Free Day" on the first day of the month -- February 1, 2003 -- and on the first day of each following month as necessary. We plan to participate in this protest by not buying gasoline, not driving our cars and trucks except in emergencies, taking public transportation if available, and using vehicles not powered by gasoline. If we have to drive, we will share rides as much as possible and drive at a safe, slower speed in order to conserve gasoline. We will spend some time during "Gasoline-Free Day" considering our relationship with gasoline and educating ourselves about such issues as the effects of gasoline use on our foriegn policy and war,on our air, on global warming, and on our land and resources. We encourage people everywhere to join us in this effort. Even though war may seem to be a terrible force that is impossible to stop, we will participate in this non-violent effort with the hope that, with enough people working together we can create a safer, less-polluted world where no wars are fought over oil.
