Spreading Awareness, Encouraging Action
Corporations Take Action Against Climate Change! Many large corporations
have joined with leading environmental groups to urge the U.S. Congress
to pass a market-based cap on greenhouse gases.
This U.S. Climate
Action Partnership mission is to have a U.S. carbon cap of 10-30%
over the next 15 years.
Why would they want to do this? Moving forward on climate action will unleash cash and creativity from the private sector and support the wave of highly profitable technological developments. Europe and Asia are a step ahead in environmental technology, and the U.S. needs to catch up, lose its addiction to fossil fuels, and promote energy independence.
