Dear Green American, Have you ever wondered why Green America focuses so much on your support this time of year? The truth is, as a member-funded organization, Green America receives 50% of our member contributions in December from individuals like you. What we raise in the final days of December literally determines how much we can take on in 2024! We are blessed to have a donor who has stepped forward to match your year-end donation dollar-for-dollar up to $400,000. We still have $257,595 to raise to meet our match…and only 11 days before our deadline! Will you make you first-ever donation to Green America today? I promise we will ramp up our game-changing green economy work in 2024. #1 We are growing Clean Energy and reducing Greenhouse Gases! We pressured Trader Joe’s to remove harmful greenhouse gases called HFCs from its refrigerants through our “Cool it!” campaign. In January 2023, Trader Joe’s committed to using HFC-free refrigerants in all their new stores. Now, we are working to get both Trader Joe’s and Kroger to remove climate-destroying refrigerants from all their existing stores. And thanks to our “Hang up on Fossil Fuels” campaign T-Mobile/Sprint has fully transitioned to 100% renewable energy, and AT&T and Verizon have each made historic clean energy purchases, equivalent to shutting down four coal-fired powerplants. In 2024, we are urging the top ten communications companies in the country to take action on clean energy. #2 Together, you and I are accelerating economic justice by protecting workers in the most dangerous supply chains around the world. In 2024, we’ll keep the pressure on Amazon to address its massive carbon emissions, while protecting the tens of thousands of warehouse and delivery workers in the US, and factory workers overseas, that make its massive profits possible. #3 We are working to make ALL Agriculture Regenerative. Our Regenerative Ag work is extraordinary―not only are farmers putting carbon back into the soil, improving biodiversity, and producing more nutritious food―their farms are more profitable. The farms in our Soil Carbon Initiative represent over 3 million acres! In 2024, we’ll work to shift millions more acres to regenerative. At the community level, we’ve registered over 20,000 Climate Victory Gardens―the equivalent of not driving 39 million miles. In 2024, we’ll work to double that! We are devoted to the unprecedented, transformational change that is required to stop the worst of the climate crisis and to create a more just, sustainable world in 2024 and beyond! Economic activism makes our work powerful. YOU make our work possible. On behalf of our beautiful planet and all its people, please make your most your first-ever donation to Green America today. Donate before December 31st and have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar. We can't do it without you, |
