Current Priority

Right now, one issue we’re focused on is transitioning to 100 percent clean, renewable energy. We have the power to harness clean, abundant energy from the sun and the wind, and we can do it more efficiently and cheaply than ever before. That’s why we’re calling on cities — and our state — to commit to 100 percent renewable energy.

Global Warming Solutions

Clean, Green & Renewable Energy

We’re promoting a bold vision of a world powered solely by clean energy harnessed from the sun and the wind. To bring reality closer to this vision, we’re encouraging campuses, cities, states and Congress to commit to 100 percent renewable energy. Already, six states and more than 50 cities have committed to a zero-carbon goal, along with universities from Colorado State to Cornell. More...


 

Conservation

Our parks, forests, mountains, oceans and the wildlife that depend on them help define our country and who we are as a people. They need our protection, especially as bees and other pollinators die off in unsustainable numbers, public lands and waters are opened up to drilling and mining, and plastic pollution in our ocean puts wildlife at risk. More...
