American innovation put a man on the moon, cured diseases, and
launched the digital age.
If we apply the same spirit to the climate crisis, then there is a
zero pollution world in our future - one where absolutely no
more climate pollution goes into the atmosphere than can be removed.
A bill will soon be introduced in Congress that will require every
sector of the American economy to get to zero pollution. Make sure
your Representative supports it.

Let's dissect how this will work - using America's biggest
contributor to climate change as an example: the transportation
sector.
Cars, trucks, trains, planes, and shipping account for nearly
one-third of America's climate emissions. If we're going
to deal with the climate crisis, we need to start here - and
execute five simple steps:
1) Strengthen clean car and clean truck standards in order to drive
down climate pollution from all cars and trucks.
2) Support a nationwide build-out of electric vehicle charging
infrastructure.
3) Catalyze a globally-leading domestic manufacturing base for
zero-emissions medium and heavy duty trucks.
4) Expand public transit options while supporting the use of zero
emissions technology within local government transit agencies and
school districts.
5) Get climate allies in Congress united behind the goal of a zero
pollution economy.

That last step is the most important one you can take today. Because
the bill that will soon hit the House floor will require all sectors
of the government - including the Department of Transportation
- to create a plan to get to a zero pollution future.
This is the first step to the next - and potentially greatest
- stage of American innovation. Are you in? Make sure Congress
knows it.
