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.
