Walmart refrigeration is leaking harmful climate pollutants - tell them to Cool It.
Greenhouse gas emissions come from the burning of 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 widespread, systemic action 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. Communities and ecosystems are already facing the devastating effects of this crisis.
The climate crisis 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.

Walmart refrigeration is leaking harmful climate pollutants - tell them to Cool It. We are urging Walmart to phase out harmful HFCs by 2030, reduce its refrigerant leaks, and commit to responsible disposal.
We're bringing victory gardens back! Join others across the country gardening to support their communities and the planet.
