John -
As the U.S. endures another year of record-breaking heat waves, droughts, and floods, the U.S. military continues to pump tons of carbon emissions into the air for “entertainment.”
How? By hosting military air shows all across the country. Just one team of Thunderbird fighter jets flying overhead burns 18,200 gallons of jet fuel per hour — about as much fuel as it takes to fly from New York City to Paris.1
This is why, together with our partners at Veterans For Peace, we are demanding the Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Torros and Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall III to cancel climate-wrecking air shows that glorify death and destruction. John, can you help send them a message now?
John, the U.S. military is the single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels in the world and therefore one of the key contributors to the climate crisis. Canceling military air shows is only a first step, but it’s an important one to draw public attention to the impact of rising militarism on our planet.
In solidarity,
- Team 350
1 - No MAS! No Military Air Shows!
