Give The Finger To Carbon!
Sunday, June 10th, 2012Here Is Your Chance To Help Reduce Carbon.
The amount of carbon pollution in our atmosphere keeps rising. We can see the impacts of climate change — from extreme weather to deepening droughts — right before our eyes. You and I know climate change is a reality.
But here’s the good news: Today you can finally do something about it. You can support the first limit on carbon pollution in the U.S.
And it gets even better. We created this short video to explain the historic carbon pollution standard just for you.
Watch the video, and learn more about how you can help our country take an important step toward solving the climate crisis.
This is a big deal: the EPA recently proposed the first-ever limit on carbon pollution. That’s right, for the first time we’ll have a limit on the amount of dirty carbon pollution new power plants can spew into our atmosphere.
We need millions of Americans, just like you, to stand up and support this courageous first step toward solving the climate crisis.
With just one click, you can join me and “give carbon the finger.”
…. as the green future unfolds.
The U.S. Department of Energy today announced 15 research and deployment partnerships to help dramatically improve the energy efficiency of American homes. These highly-qualified, multidisciplinary teams will receive a total of up to $30 million for the initial eighteen months of the projects to deliver innovative energy efficiency strategies to the residential market and address barriers to bringing high-efficiency homes within reach for all Americans. A total of up to $20 million per year will also be made available for the partnerships for three potential one-year extensions. These research and deployment partnerships will provide technical assistance to retrofit projects and will leverage industry expertise and funding to support DOE’s energy efficiency retrofit programs.
