The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and certain agricultural activities and industrial practices unleash billions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment. Since the industrial revolution, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide have increased by more than 30 percent to levels unsurpassed in the past 160,000 years.

Take Action on Climate Change Today!

In 2009, the House passed the the historic American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), and climate legislation is currently pending in the Senate. We can solve our enviornmental and economic crises with clean energy solutions, but we all must raise on our voices on this critical issue today.

What Can I Do?
Build Senate support for climate legislation through emails to your Senators and letters to the editor (with our pre-written templates!).
