Action: Thanksgiving Travel Advisory November 22, 2005

There?s more than one way to get over the river and through the woods, but for most American?s it involves a gas-guzzling---and stressful---car trip on crowded roads. Thanksgiving is one of the year?s most traffic-congested holidays, with over 80% of Americans driving to get home for the big family feast. This year, help encourage families to choose more energy-efficient buses and trains for the trip to Grandma?s house. For families who do buy gas, we?re asking them to avoid ExxonMobil. Exxon has the worst environmental track record of all the oil companies:
* pushing to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge
* clouding the debate on global climate change
* and failing to pay full cost of cleanup for the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.

We can use our buying power to point the way to a new energy future based on clean power and climate protection. Exxon can do its part by making amends for past mistakes and moving to invest---for the first time?in renewable sources of energy.
