Why we need a #PriceOnPollution 👇
We will spend $550 billion over years to begin the transition from fossil fuels in a bid to get ahead of climate disaster. We let stand the $600 billion subsidy fossil fuel enjoys every year, according to the International Monetary Fund. That math ain’t great.
We've generated over 126,000 contacts to Congress and the White House about including a #PriceOnCarbon in the reconciliation bill. The pivotal moment has arrived for enacting this essential climate tool. Let your voice be heard! citizensclimatelobby.org/get…
As a preschool teacher, I’m fearful of the future my students have ahead of them. Please @SenJeffMerkley include a #priceonpollution in the reconciliation package. Protect their little lungs and our beautiful planet 🙏🌎
Replying to @AFTunion
@AFTunion is a supporter of @SenJeffMerkley and endorses a #PriceOnCarbon. I urge @SenJeffMerkley to listen to your supporters and include a #priceoncarbon in the #BudgetReconciliation package to reduce emissions and save lives. @Oregonian @OregonJTA @OPALEJOR @oeconline @OPB

This high school in Walnut, California gave it's parking lot a #solar upgrade. Shading vehicles and helping to power the school. Shouldn't every high school get a #solarpower upgrade like this one? #ActOnClimate #climateaction #climate #energy #GreenNewDeal #BuildBackBetter

WOW! Support for a #PriceOnCarbon in Congress is picking up steam. In the last 2 weeks, 10 House members have cosponsored the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act for a total of 68 cosponsors. Tweet your appreciation to them with our online tool. community.citizensclimate.or…

The Senate will soon vote on the Growing Climate Solutions Act, which will help spread climate-smart farming practices. Write your senators and ask them to vote "yes" when the bill gets to the floor. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ community.citizensclimate.or…
We don't speak enough about the terrible toll in disease and death due to carbon pollution. This is tragic and costly, and it is all around us. From school buses and trucks operating on suburban roads, to power & processing plants located near many low-income neighborhoods.
$820 billion every year! This is a staggering toll and a huge economic drain our society. One more reason why Congress MUST enact effective climate legislation this year. #ClimateChange @zteirstein grist.org/article/doctors-pu…

With Congress working on climate legislation, this is a critical time to get carbon pricing, the most effective tool to cut carbon, into the mix. Join our virtual conference to prepare our volunteers to lobby Congress the following week. bit.ly/3w7qHpZ

We want and need Republicans at the table on climate solutions. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act takes the kind of market-based approach to #ClimateChange that conservatives prefer. Let's work together! eenews.net/stories/106372905…

GREAT NEWS! The Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act was reintroduced TODAY by Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) with 28 original cosponsors. It will reduce carbon pollution by 30% in the next 5 years, and move us to net zero by 2050. Learn more at energyinnovationact.org. @RepTedDeutch

For nearly 9 years, @SenWhitehouse gave weekly speeches about the threat of climate change. This climate hawk says Congress should include a #PriceOnPollution in a package of climate legislation. WATCH ⬇️⬇️⬇️
