Dear NRDC Activist,
President Biden recently signed a potentially game-changing law — the Inflation Reduction Act — that could help cut climate pollution in half by 2030. Now, we need to make sure the law delivers on its climate promise.
That's why I'm standing with NRDC. They are ensuring that the Biden Administration moves quickly to write tough rules that dramatically cut carbon pollution from vehicles and power plants — even as it invests billions to ramp up clean energy and climate-saving innovation in every sector of the economy.
But we must also loudly oppose handouts to the fossil fuel industry that could prolong our dependence on oil and gas, throwing climate progress into reverse.
Please sign NRDC's Petition to President Biden. Call on him to face down the fossil fuel lobby by directing his agencies to make climate protection the top priority in all decisions about proposed oil and gas leasing on our public lands and oceans. With its legal prowess and grassroots power, NRDC is uniquely effective at taking on the fossil fuel industry. Will you help them?
After you send your letter, I hope you'll make a tax-deductible donation so that NRDC can keep battling for our climate and for our environment on every front. Because of a special matching grant, your gift will go three times as far in this all-important work.
Despite last year's breakthrough climate law, the fossil fuel industry isn't done lobbying for more dangerous oil and gas drilling.
Big Oil is pushing the Biden administration hard to open hundreds of thousands more acres of our public wildlands and our coasts to destructive oil and gas drilling. This must be stopped.
I remain impressed and inspired by the way NRDC is tackling the interlocking crisis of climate, biodiversity, and economic inequality. Together, we can build on the momentum of the landmark climate law and turn its promise into a clean energy reality.
But first, I hope you'll do your part today and tell President Biden to take swift, bold steps to end our fossil fuel dependence.
Thank you for showing up during this important moment for our climate and future.
Sincerely,
Robert Redford
Trustee, NRDC
