John,

The Clean Fuel Standard moved to the Senate!

Yesterday, January 29, the House of Representatives continued its work from last session and moved this critical climate bill to the Senate.

Keep up the momentum—email your Senator and urge them to move the Clean Fuel Standard forward now!

Emissions from transportation fuels like diesel and gasoline are responsible for nearly half of the climate pollution in our state. Today, the fuels we use to get around are threatening our future and making us sick—but we can change that!

A Clean Fuel Standard creates incentives for clean, low-carbon choices like electricity and local biofuels to power our transportation, addressing one of the most persistent sources of climate pollution we have here. A Clean Fuel Standard will also bring needed investments that will help create the jobs of the future.

With the Clean Fuel Standard (HB 1110) now in the Senate, we need to make sure our Senators know that we have no time to waste. Email your Senator and tell them Washington needs cleaner choices for transportation!

For years, the fossil fuel industry has put the burden of pollution on low-income neighborhoods and communities of color. Prioritizing cleaner fuel and cleaner air will take an important step forward in addressing this long-standing inequity so that everyone has cleaner air no matter where they live.

With a Clean Fuel Standard, by 2035, we could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by six million tons per year. Tell your Senators to support a Clean Fuel Standard today.

Thanks for all you do,

Eleanor Bastian
Climate and Clean Energy Policy Manager
