Dear Friend,

Here at Green America, we’ve been inspired by the actions that individuals and communities are taking to address COVID-19 and keep as many people as safe as possible.

We also know that COVID-19 is a wakeup call. If we weren’t prepared to address this threat, we’re even less prepared to address climate change.

The climate crisis is growing more apparent daily, and unless we take massive action soon as a nation and planet, the impacts will be beyond what we can imagine.

We will have crises on par with COVID-19 on a regular basis, and frontline communities will bear the worst of it.

We can’t allow that to happen.

We know that there is a better way forward, with an economy that serves all people and protects the planet.

For 35 years, we’ve been working with our individual and business members, and our many allies, to build that economy.

Our collective work is more important than ever, and we thank everyone who is working from a place of generosity to help those whose lives have been upended by COVID-19 and working to prevent the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

The health and happiness of future generations depends on the actions we take today.

Here's how we’re finding solutions to the climate crisis to make the biggest impact possible:

1. Accelerate 100% renewables commitments from America's biggest corporations. We got Amazon to 50% renewables and this year we pushed AT&T from 2% to 30% renewables. Now let's get these companies to go 100%!

2. Divest billions of dollars from Wall Street banks that support the expansion of dirty energy — divestment is the key to STOPPING pipelines. With our allies, we pushed Goldman Sachs, Chase and Wells Fargo to end funding new drilling in the Arctic.

3. Push America’s #1 grocer—Walmart—to dramatically reduce emissions by removing HFCs from its refrigeration. Management of HFC is one of the top solutions to the climate crisis — since HFCs have 9,000 times the heating capacity of CO2.

 4. Take on the fashion industry. Clothes are responsible for more carbon emissions than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. And textile dying is the #2 polluter of our water globally.

5. Solve climate change with farming. Carbon Farming is our biggest program yet. If we can convert just 30% of cropland and pasture to regenerative carbon farming practices, we can reduce atmospheric carbon to pre-industrial levels. 

This is the most important work of our lives.

Please take advantage of this chance to triple the power of your gift and give as generously as you can.

Your tax-deductible gift of $50 becomes $150 for our powerful work together… your gift of $100 becomes $300… your gift of $250 becomes $750...

Together, we can protect people and our precious planet!
