How we can
cut carbon emissions 80%
by 2050
we are focused on one simple demand: Congress must pass strong, ambitious legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80% below current levels by mid-century |
Though we don't advocate any particular solutions to cut carbon 80% by 2050, many options can get us there. Below are links to blueprints and solutions aimed at achieving our goal. We now just need to exert our collective will and make them happen!
