Get a whiff of the future with CCL's 'Smells Like Climate Change'
contest

Ever wonder what the world will smell like in the future if climate
change continues on its current course? CCL's Marketing team did, and
they've just launched a campaign — "Smells Like Climate Change" — to let
everyone know it will really stink if we don't put a price on carbon.

With the aim of generating some buzz and initiating conversations about
pricing carbon, the team created "air fresheners" with three different
scents that were sent to social media influencers and journalists —
Burnt Pine

, Smoggy City

, and Bleached Reef

.

"This is a fun, creative way to get people's attention, and get them
talking about a price on carbon at the same time," said CCL creative
consultant Nick Huey.

Want to be the proud owner of these climate inaction scents? Go to our
post on Instagram and follow the rules to enter our contest. Ten winners
will receive a set of all three. Deadline is next Wednesday, July 21.

website, may resonate with CCL supporters: "We support both Democratic
and Republican candidates for U.S. Congress who will introduce and pass
effective legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." You can learn

Media: CCLers part of bipartisanship story

In November of 2019, the last time CCL held an in-person conference in
Washington, volunteers from Arkansas sent a press release to media
contacts about their state's delegation heading to D.C. A Washington
correspondent for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Frank Lockwood, came to
the Omni Shoreham hotel and talked to the volunteers. No story appeared
at the time, but a connection was made that would bear fruit a year and
a half later when the group sent out another press release, this time
about Arkansas' Republican senators, John Boozman (shown above) and Tom
Cotton, voting in favor of the Growing Climate Solutions Act.

Last week, Lockwood wrote an article about the shifting position of
Republicans on climate change, citing Senate passage of the bipartisan
Growing Climate Solutions Act and the formation of the Conservative
Climate Caucus. CCL was part of the story:

Jan Schaper, Arkansas co-coordinator for the Citizens' Climate Lobby,
said she was encouraged to see broad bipartisan support for the Growing
Climate Solutions Act. "That, in and of itself, shows people in Congress
can work together," she said. Members of Citizens' Climate Lobby, a
nonpartisan, nonprofit environmental group, had met with Boozman at
least four times to voice support for the measure, the organization
said.
