Demand Strong Climate and Energy Legislation Now!

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Care2.com

In late June, the House of Representatives took a historic vote to pass comprehensive climate and energy legislation that would put in place a nationwide plan to rein in global warming pollution and establish a cleaner approach to our nation's energy system.

This legislation does not include everything we wanted, but it establishes a critical first step in building the foundation to curb global warming, reduce our dependence on oil and start the transition to a clean energy economy.

Many politicians wrongly believe saving our planet should take a back seat to profits for big business -- and they'll be trying to derail the bill every step of the way.

We need your help to put a strong bill over the finish line. Please urge your Senators to act quickly to strengthen and pass the House bill.

Subject: Please pass science-based climate and energy legislation this year

Dear Senator [Last Name],

In June, the House of Representatives passed the historic American Clean Energy and Security Act, a comprehensive climate and energy bill that would limit global warming pollution and establish a cleaner approach to our nation's energy system. Now it's time for the Senate to act by taking up, strengthening, and passing the House bill.

[Your personal comments will be added to your letter here.]

To maximize the potential benefits of climate action, Senate climate legislation should improve on the House bill by:

* strengthening the short-term emissions reduction target to 35 percent by 2020;

* strengthening the renewable electricity standard to require 25 percent of our electricity to come from renewable sources, such as the wind and sun, by 2025;

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

We took action on “Demand Strong Climate and Energy Legislation Now!”!

I believe we still have a chance to reverse the negative effects of global warming and the saving for the adverage American can only help the economy. The cost of doing nothing is too great risk

It is imporant for the survival of our planet. However, being serious about it will bring new industies into being that will provide work for the presently unemployed.
