Environmental Justice: Reduce Carbon Emissions 80% by 2050

Our world is in a state of ill health. Our temperature is rising; severe, unpredictable and unprecedented weather patterns are continually emerging; in the midst of a great extinction, species are disappearing from the earth each day; and the waters that lap up against our shores are gradually reaching further inland. The evidence is overwhelming that these changes are due to human activity, specifically the emissions of carbon gasses. And those who are well-off enough to live the most carbon producing, over-consuming lifestyles, can more easily guard against these environmental changes, while those who have access to fewer resources suffer disproportionately.
As citizens of the largest carbon emissions producing country in the world, we have the responsibility and the opportunity to begin to heal our world. In both houses of Congress, legislation has been introduced that would dramatically reduce our nation's carbon emissions and help turn the tide on global warming. Tell your representative that it is past time to act.
