IOT: Stop Global Warming – Environment Issues June Call

Submitted by Anna on Wed, 06/23/2010 - 20:01

The team welcomed Danna Moore from Future 500 to discuss the organization’s efforts to recruit businesses to join in the effort for sound climate legislation. In addition, we discussed the role of the EPA in regulating CO2 and recent attempts to gut the Clean Air Act, the bill which gives the EPA the authority to regulate air quality.

While the EPA is neither the best mechanism, nor does it have the ability to entirely address the climate crisis, it is in the position to begin the process and could produce the same or better results than the short term goals of the current legislation under consideration.

Also included: an update on our legislative strategy, the Cleveland Grassroots Leadership Conference, and Mountain-top mining.
