Green America brings together individuals, businesses, and communities to pressure major polluters to take the climate crisis seriously. We also help people and businesses to reduce their carbon footprints and advance clean energy solutions that create jobs while tackling climate change.
Climate change is an enormous threat to people and the planet, but it is also presents an opportunity to create a truly green economy that works for all.
Carbon emissions primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, using fossil fuels in agriculture, and the destruction of forests, soil, and other places that sequester carbon.
If we don’t take action as a society to reduce carbon emissions, the impacts of climate change will be severe – droughts in some parts of the world and flooding in others. Rising sea levels will threaten our major cities worldwide. We are already seeing these impacts. If we don’t take action to reduce emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050, the economic costs would be trillions of dollars per year.
Fortunately, we have all the solutions we need to address climate change. We now need to scale them up.
Green America works with its members and allies to:
Many allied organizations, along with Green Americans around the country, joined together to voice concerns over Scott Pruitt's leadership of the Environmental Protection Agency. In July 2018, Scott Pruitt resigned from the EPA.
Tell CVS to #SkiptheSlip to save trees, cut emissions, reduce waste and protect human health.
Tell Smithsonian Institution, a leader in environmental education, to save trees, lower carbon emissions, and reduce trash in landfills by switching to recycled paper for Smithsonian Magazine.
While forward-thinking tech companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google have committed to running on 100% renewables and are investing in facilities powered by renewable energy, AT&T and Verizon continue source the majority of their energy from dirty energy sources.
Unlike actual clouds, which float in a mist above our heads, “the cloud”, as its known, is a physical network of many computers housed in warehouses all over the world. The servers in these data centers rely on massive amounts of energy to operate. This energy is generated by coal, natural gas,…
