Below is everything you need to list a business on the "Businesses for a Safe Climate Petition." Be sure to let us know whether or not you represent the business you are entering or have recruited the business you are entering. And don't worry if you've got more than one business to enter -- you'll be asked if you want to enter another business after you're done with the first entry.
Here's the petition language:
"As a business owner, it concerns me that Congress has yet to take serious action on global warming. Leading scientists and economists have identified the steps that we need to take in order to curb global warming and move toward the prosperity of a green economy. I call on Congress to follow these steps and pass legislation that will...
1) Create 5 million Green Jobs in order to conserve 20% of our energy by 2015 and create pathways out of poverty for people.
2) Freeze climate pollution levels now, then cut by at least 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
3) End development of new coal plants that emit global warming pollution. Pivot boldly away from fossil fuel dependence, and toward a clean energy future with strong standards and incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy.
_______________ believes in being a responsible member of the community. As such, we commit to examine and create a plan to reduce our carbon footprint in order to minimize our impact on the environment. We are doing our part, now it's time for Congress to do theirs."
