Climate Change – a Mounting Disaster

Every month, we hear more alarming news about damage from climate change –

  • more severe storms
  • more spreading of disease
  • more environmental refugees

Without strong legislation, the future is bleak.

Benefits of Strong Climate Legislation

A strong energy bill can create enormous benefits, such as

  • creating thousands of green jobs
  • reducing air pollution in our cities
  • protecting developing countries from the effects of global warming.

We need your help to reach as many people as possible with our message – today.  Register today for Green Jobs, Climate Justice by clicking on the link at www.greenfaith.org.
