New video of climber Alex Honnold's endorsement of Energy Innovation Act
Since the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act was introduced, one
of the biggest endorsements for the legislation has come from
professional climber Alex Honnold, famous for being the first person to
scale Yosemite National Park's El Capitan without the use of ropes.
Alex's heart-stopping feat was captured in the Academy Award-winning
documentary "Free Solo." An avid climate activist, Alex used his
new-found celebrity to give a boost to the carbon-pricing bill CCL is
supporting.
We've put together an exciting, short video of Alex's endorsement
featuring scenes of his exploits along with his words:
"Fighting climate change is a lot like physical training: you just have
to build up for it, you have to practice. The U.S. legislature in
general right now is grossly under-trained. You know, you got to start
small. Start practicing a little bit, stretch, limber up. And I think
basically anything we can do to reduce carbon emissions is a step in the
right direction. And this bill is that first step."

Grasstops: Invitation and shoutout from MP
It's nice to have friends in high places, and CCL International Outreach
Manager Cathy Orlando and daughter Sophia Mathur clearly do. They
received an invitation from Canadian Member of Parliament Marc Serré to
attend an online event with parliamentarians in the Americas last week.
He later gave them a shoutout on Twitter

. This was a great example of the relationship-building Cathy and Sophia
have done over the years with Canadian lawmakers.
