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 emissions and advance clean energy solutions that create jobs while tackling climate change.
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.
Fortunately, we have existing solutions to address climate change. Now we need to scale them up.

Our Skip the Slip campaign has urged CVS to switch to non-toxic, recyclable receipt paper, which it’s now implemented in all 10,000 stores.
We’ve also urged CVS to boost access and participation for its digital program. CVS has increased promotion of its digital option which it reports has saved 49 million yards of receipt paper – that’s more than enough to circle the globe…
Thank CVS for ramping up digital receipts and phenol-free paper. Encourage it to continue this great progress on waste and water reduction and toxic chemical exposure.
On March 26, the agency issued a memo stating that it will “not seek penalties for noncompliance with routine monitoring or reporting obligations.” Join Green America by urging your elected officials in Congress to hold the EPA accountable and urge the reversal of this dangerous decision.
The refrigerants, substances used in cooling appliances, emit hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs. HFCs have thousands of times the warming capacity than CO2 and they are the fastest growing greenhouse gas.
JPMorgan Chase Bank and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company are leaders in financing climate destruction.
Through their financing, insuring, and investing in fossil fuel companies, they continue to seek profit from the climate emergency that threatens life on Earth.
JPMorgan Chase…
