Goal
Clean Air, Water, and Energy
Rising damages from droughts, floods, heat waves, forest fires, extreme storms, and changing patterns of insect-borne diseases such as Dengue and Zika are just some of the dangers of long-term climate change. It’s time that America commit to safe renewable energy sources that can protect us from climate hazards while reducing our vulnerability to imported oil. And communities must be able to trust that their water systems are not poisoning them, and that pollutants are not causing disease, lowering farm productivity, and threatening other species.
