Group is working to pursue solutions to climate change

Three-quarters of young people aged 16-25 believe “the future is frightening ” according to a 10- country survey of 10,000; 56 percent said “humanity is doomed.”

Is this the environment we seek for today’s youth?

What if there was an immediate solution for this widespread anxiety that also lowered the chance of climate catastrophe?

Citizens Climate Lobby provides exactly that. Youth and adults can join local chapters and add their voices to a chorus requesting that a carbon price be enacted by the U.S. Congress. This action truly is the antidote to despair. As soon as the legislation passes, we’ll breathe cleaner air, songbirds will rebound from their decline, and family wage jobs in clean energy will be plentiful. Net zero emissions will be within reach. What’s more: every American family will receive a monthly environmental dividend check.
