Children Need a Strong Climate Bill

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Care2
The Senate will soon begin debating their version of the comprehensive climate change bill passed by the House earlier this year. This bill is critical for the future of our planet -- and for the well-being of our children and grandchildren.

A just-released report from the United Nations Environment Program said that without prompt action, sea levels could rise as much as 2 meters by 2100. Put another way, our current inaction will cause irreparable damage to the planet in the lives of today's children.

Indeed, children even experience the effects of climate change more dramatically than adults, since their physical and psychological health is not as fully developed. Change in living conditions, loss of food sources and more prevalent disease will all affect children more dramatically.

Speak out for the future of our children! Urge your senators to pass a stronger version of the climate bill and do whatever we can now to ensure a safer planet for our children and grandchildren.

Dear Senator,

I am writing in support of strengthening the provisions of the American Clean Energy and Security Act passed by the House. This bill is a critical first step in doing our part to reduce the effects of climate change and preserve the planet for our children.

A just-released report from the United Nations Environment Program said that without prompt action, sea levels could rise as much as 2 meters by 2100. Put another way, our current inaction will cause irreparable damage to the planet in the lives of today's children.

Indeed, children even experience the effects of climate change more dramatically than adults, since their physical and psychological health is not as fully developed. Change in living conditions, loss of food sources and more prevalent disease will all affect children more dramatically.

As someone who cares about the future we leave for our children, I ask you to strengthen the American Clean Energy and Security Act and do whatever we can now to ensure a safer planet for our children and grandchildren.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We took action on “Children Need a Strong Climate Bill”!
