Our pets have as much stake in a livable world as we do. That’s why they are helping the Middle Tennessee Chapter of @citizensclimate volunteers write postcards for the @Enviro_Voter project to remind environmentalists to vote in November!

The Middle Tennessee Chapter of @citizensclimate had a great time writing postcards for the @Enviro_Voter project to remind environmentalists to vote in November!

Time to get energized and inspired at CCL’s June conference in DC! Our chapter has launched a https://t.co/Mc9BLU26lB account for those of us unable to make it in person to help offset the expense of fellow chapter members who wish to attend. Let’s finish the job! #CCL2023

Thank you staff of @RepMarkGreen for giving our  @ccl_tn volunteers the opportunity to build relationships that will change the world! @citizensclimate fall lobbying campaign is #GrassrootsClimate in action!

This report by the @IEA shows the extent to which the inevitable transition to renewables and #ElectricVehicles has already slowed the global rise in CO2 emissions. For @citizensclimate volunteers it is about acceleration. Let's keep up the work! https://t.co/5FPGRoCQ01

Great op-ed in the @tennessean about a climate solution with potential to get Republican support: Carbon border adjustment mechanisms.

Waking up to more good news this morning: The last passenger to get on the #InflationReductionAct train, @SenatorSinema, has climbed aboard.

Let the voting begin for biggest #Climate legislation Congress has ever done!

Interesting thread on a paper that looks at political support for a carbon tax accompanied by a rebate. Spoiler: Giving people money helps.

Remember budget reconciliation? It’s happening & climate is part of it! The Inflation Reduction Act is a HUGE step forward in the fight against climate change & we need to make sure it passes by ☎️ calling every Democratic office on the Hill. ☎️

Thank you to @KPateontheHill for meeting with @CitizensLobbyCa volunteers to discuss strategies for lowering Canada's GHG emissions, such as reducing our use of the anesthetic gas desflurane in operating rooms and phasing out natural gas in electricity generation.

Thanks to Shea Throckmorton, aide to @SenatorHagerty for meeting with @citizensclimate volunteers from Tennessee @ccl_tn and talking about how a #carbon_border_adjustment would be good for U.S. business and hurt China and Russia.

[Alan Leiserson @alan_leiserson]

Many thanks to @SenatorHagerty and Senator @MarshaBlackburn as well as Andrew Hogin, Shea Throckmorton, and Stephen Voljavec of their staffs for welcoming Tennessee volunteers for Citizens' Climate Lobby to #TennesseeTuesday at the Capitol. @citizensclimate @ccl_tn @CclKnox

[Citizens’ Climate Lobby Middle Tennessee @ccl_tn]

Thank you to our senators @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty for Tennessee Tuesday at the @citizensclimate June conference and to your staffs who met with our lobbying teams after the conference to discuss ideas around #climateaction.

Fossil Fuels-Expensive at Any Price. Fortunately, modern alternatives are readily available even to individual consumers. Make the switch.

Fantastic op-ed from CEOs in Utah arguing for a #PriceOnCarbon:

"If policymakers incentivize the market to give us clean air and zero-carbon energy, then the market will deliver... One possible option to reduce emissions is a carbon dividend approach."

The #ElectrifyEverything movement would have no chance if #RenewableEnergy sources didn't out perform their #FossilFuels counterparts in every respect including health, safety, & economics. Like, how many electrical spills have we had? A livable world is a great side benefit too.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

The movement to #ElectrifyEverything is picking up steam! Join our national call April 9 when we'll talk with Keishaa Austin from @rewiringamerica about how we can kick the fossil fuel habit.

[Citizens’ Climate Lobby Middle Tennessee @ccl_tn]

We consumers are conditioned to feel carbon monoxide poisoning is a natural risk to using #NaturalGas or other #FossilFuels in our homes. The #ElectrifyEverything alternatives perform better in every respect with added benefit of assuring a livable world. https://t.co/i1cu3Aypnn
