Pass the Safe Climate Act!

Community members in Queens, NY worked with Greenpeace to produce this video during the national Step It Up day of action to stop global warming. They put their politician on the hot seat -- you can too!

Help build support for critical action on global warming, contact your representative today. We owe it to ourselves, future generations, and to the planet to stop global warming now, before it's too late.

Dear Representative,

Given the imminent threat of global warming, I strongly urge you to sponsor the Safe Climate Act (H.R. 1590).  This bill is a science-based long-term solution to global warming that will help protect future generations from the worst effects of global warming. America is already suffering from the impacts of global warming, including increased droughts and heat waves, sea levels rise, and stronger more devastating hurricanes.

The Safe Climate Act reduces U.S. emissions of global warming pollution to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.  Scientists agree these are the reductions needed to curb the most damaging impacts. This is achieved though energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy, and cleaner cars.

The bill also provides flexibility to help companies meet the pollution-reduction goals through a “cap-and-trade” program. These measures will help to reduce U.S. dependence on oil, protect pristine places from oil drilling, improve air quality and have other far-reaching benefits. Global warming is the most important environmental challenge of our time and I strongly urge you to support this important bill.

"Sincerely," and your name and contact information will be added to the end of the letter.
