Friend, Walmart stores are leaking potent greenhouse gases that accelerate the climate crisis. These gases are called HFCs and they have up to thousands of times the warming power of carbon dioxide. HFCs are used in refrigeration and make up over HALF of Walmart’s direct climate polluting emissions. That’s why our Cool It campaign is calling on Walmart to eliminate the use of HFC pollutants and reduce refrigerant leaks. UN researchers just released data showing the planet is on track to warm a disastrous 2.5 degrees Celsius. To limit warming to 1.5 degrees, we need major polluters like Walmart to act now. In fact, eliminating HFCs and improving refrigeration are key climate actions that can avoid half a degree of warming! Walmart has known about this issue for years and yet, has continued to increase its HFC emissions. Let's hold them accountable to make changes now. 1. Send Walmart a message on social media: |
