Renewables & Environment - Lee, Massachusetts, United States
The Climate Crisis Coalition was founded in 2004 to create awareness and a sense of urgency about the climate crisis and to broaden the constituency of the climate action movement. Now, with that urgency evermore apparent, two goals have become paramount: 1) reduce atmospheric CO2 to 350 ppm; 2) enact legislation that will best drive the transition to renewable energy. An escalating and equitable carbon fee (where the revenue is recycled back to the people) must be the central component of U.S. and international initiatives.Our mission is also to approach climate change from the holistic perspective that links issues of environmental, social and economic equity. This emphasis is now especially important as individuals seek to make changes in their lives and get involved in their communities, as Congress considers new climate legislation, and as world leaders move forward from the problematic UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen with a huge task at hand: a strong, effective and equitable post-Kyoto climate treaty.
