John, there have been moments throughout history where people have been able to transform the world for the better. That moment to tackle the climate crisis is right now.
And with you by our side I know we can work together to deliver meaningful wins on climate and public health.
Your gift will unleash bold action in three key areas, strategically chosen to maximize the impact of every dollar contributed by EDF members like you:
- Electrify the transportation sector while cleaning up electricity generation by setting ambitious goals today. By 2035 we must ensure all new cars — and by 2040, all new trucks and buses -- sold in the U.S. must be zero emission, and ensure that the electric power is 100% clean by 2035.
- Harness the power of nature to stabilize the climate with projects like the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, the largest coastal restoration project in American history. This project would not only increase the climate resilience of the communities and wildlife of the Mississippi River Delta, but also repair the lasting damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
- Slash methane pollution to supercharge planet-saving strategies. The fastest way to put the brakes on climate warming is to reduce methane pollution. Methane is a short-lived but powerful climate pollutant that has more than 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide over the first 20 years. It's responsible for about one-quarter of the warming we're experiencing already today.
