<p>Hi unbound-users,<br /><br />I just signed a petition opposing Airtel's use of \
dirty diesel energy to power their cell phone towers.<br /><br />Please read the mail \
below and take action.<br><br>  Regards,<br />
      <br /><hr /><br />Dear friends,<br />
                                            <br />
                                             Thanks to the telecommunications sector, \
every new call and SMS is hurting our environment. Lakhs of massive mobile network \
towers in our country <strong>run on dirty diesel</strong>.<br />  <br />
                                          <strong>Airtel</strong> is the market \
leader and trend-setter of the Indian telecom industry. If we get them to \
<strong>switch to renewable energy</strong>, it will set an example for the others to \
follow. Customers are the mainstay of this industry. Airtel would notice if customers \
ask them to make their calls green by using clean energy to power company&rsquo;s \
mobile towers.<br />  <br />
        <strong>You should ask Airtel to switch to renewable energy.</strong><br />
        <br />

target='_blank'>http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/What-We-Do/Stop-Climate-Change/Green-Electronics/switch-off-diesel/airtel-switch-off-diesel/</a><br \
/>  <br />Several current and potential Airtel <strong>subscribers</strong>, asking \
them to switch to renewable energy will help <strong>put pressure</strong> on them to \
act. Since the company is bound to provide good service to its subscribers, they will \
not be able to ignore this feedback. <br />  <br />
        Like coal and nuclear, oil too is an unsustainable energy option. The \
Deepwater Horizon <strong>oil spill</strong> last year showed the dangers of our \
addiction to oil.<sup>[2]</sup> Studies conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on \
Climate Change have shown that renewable energy is capable of powering the \
world.<sup>[3]</sup> Airtel needs to realise this and <strong>quit dirty \
energy</strong>. <br />  <br />
        <strong>Tell them now.</strong><br />
