Tell your senators: be a Climate Convert!

Each year we continue our march towards a climate catastrophe. The longer we wait, the more devastating will be the consequences for our children and all of Creation. The recent coal mining tragedy in West Virginia and the appalling gulf oil spill catastrophe underscore the urgency of this need, and the world is waking up to the consequences of inaction.

Dear (recipient name),

I am writing to urge you to delay no further in taking up a strong clean energy and climate bill. The recent coal mining tragedy and gulf oil catastrophe underscore the urgency of a move toward safer and cleaner energy sources.

As a person of faith deeply concerned about climate change, I was very disappointed to learn that after months of negotiations and deliberation, the Senate leadership announced it would not take up a climate bill before the August recess.

The United States should not miss this critical opportunity to provide global leadership in reaching an international climate agreement. We need action this year.  As the Senate legislation moves through the process, I ask that you:

• Provide funding to help developing nations adopt clean energy technologies, adapt to climate change impacts, and protect tropical forests.

• Build jobs and prosperity here at home by funding the Green Jobs Act.

• Suspend new offshore oil drilling plans in the wake of the BP gulf disaster.

• Ensure any new nuclear plants comply with essential safety and environmental regulations; do not require taxpayers to foot the bill for nuclear disasters.

• Include an energy efficiency standard to reduce energy consumption by 10% and require that at least 25% of our electricity come from clean energy like the wind and sun.

With your leadership, we CAN protect Creation. Please give this matter the urgency it deserves by passing a strong climate, energy, and jobs bill through the U.S. Senate.
