Clinton, McCain, Obama: Clean cars on day one!
Just this past month a 160 square mile section of the Antarctic ice shelf fell off. It was just the latest reminder of the volatility of our climate. As an Earth Tones customer, you probably don’t need to be convinced about the seriousness of global warming. Instead, we need your help to make sure that the next administration in Washington, D.C. takes immediate steps towards solving our climate and energy crises.
During the Bush administration, progress towards implementing cleaner cars has repeatedly been blocked. The next president will be in a unique position to promote the use of clean cars, and therefore, help protect the climate. We may not know who the next President will be, but we need them to commit to making the use of clean cars a priority during their first days in office.
By implementing plans such as Environment America’s Clean Car Program, the next president could swiftly prevent 400 million tons of global warming pollution from harming our environment. Make your voice heard, and let all of the presidential candidates know how you feel about the use of cleaner cars in our country.
