We are moving in the right direction towards #ClimateAction, but we need greater speed. Every country, city, financial institution & company must adopt plans to make a transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.


The @WhiteHouse is hosting a Virtual Climate Summit today! Take some time to tune in!


Take action by signing Georgia Coal Ash's petition to the GA EPD asking that they demand Georgia Power clean up & contain the 92 million tons of toxic coal ash that has been leeching into our water and rivers across Georgia. georgiacoalash.org/home/#TakeActi…
