Time is running out. With each year that passes, our ability to prevent catastrophic climate change diminishes.

Voluntary action is great, but we really need a mandatory economy-wide system. Cap and Share is a framework for reducing greenhouse gases fairly, and returning profits back to people if prices go up. You actually get paid as we all reduce emissions,, and it’s based on democratic principles:

One person – one share. In 1 hour, we’ll discuss the carbon market in California’s AB32 law, the right way and wrong way to do cap and trade, the pending bill in Congress, what could happen at the international climate talks in Copenhagen, and how you can get involved.
