Step It Up
03/11/2007 at 12:00AM
On November 3rd Step It Up will gather at places across the country named after historic leaders to demand that our representatives address four key priorities to stop global warming.
They plan to ask every Senator and Representative, and every candidate for those offices, to come to these rallies, along with state and local officials. Once they’re there, we’ll present politicians with the three “1 Sky” priorities prepared in the last few months by climate campaigners across the country. They are:
- Green Jobs Now: 5 million green jobs conserving 20% of our energy by 2015
- Cut Carbon 80% by 2050: Freeze climate pollution levels now and cut at least 80% by 2050 and 30% by 2020
- No New Coal: A moratorium on new coal-fired power plants
