At its annual investor conference today, JPMorgan Chase released a new fossil fuel policy. It should be met with indignation, not praise.
Our local fossil fuel-hooked utility is planning on spending $1 million in 2020 telling us that fracked gas is good for the climate. Don’t buy their lies.
As climate activists, we seek a different future where communities come together to make the changes we need to survive climate change. To do this, our state and local governments need to set a different course.
Seattle should follow the City of Berkeley’s lead and ensure that all new buildings are heated by clean energy, rather than climate-wrecking, health-damaging fossil fuels
Fifteen months after the Seattle City Council voted unanimously to cease banking with Wells Fargo, it has renewed a three-year contract with the climate-wrecking bank. This is why we need a public bank.
Late last year, we decided to research Amazon’s climate impact…and it wasn’t pretty: Amazon’s shipping in 2017 alone released at least 19.1 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Done right, congestion pricing puts the burden of cost on higher-income single-occupancy-vehicle (SOV) drivers, and devotes that revenue to improved transit for all; this means that we get a fairer city, a less polluted city, and a city with more room for rapid transit, pedestrians, and bicyclist
Congratulations! We look forward to working with you to make Seattle a world-class city that’s leading boldly on climate, transportation, and livability.
The reality is that Seattle is failing to meet its targets–even though there is now consensus that those targets were inadequately bold.
