Person of the Planet Action Item: Carbon Taxes

Over 3,500 economists, including 28 Nobel Laureates, have signed a statement saying, " A carbon tax offers the most cost-effective lever to reduce carbon emissions at the scale and the speed that is necessary" to achieve our climate objectives and reduce carbon pollution.

Your Senators are right now, deciding what to do about climate change. They can go big or stay small. Email then to tell them to go big with a price on carbon. Give them a call as well. Here's a simple email to send:

Dear Senator _______:

I'm a constituent, and a voter, and climate change is an priority issue for me.

I am writing to urge you to include carbon pricing in the reconciliation package. Be bold and go big.

Sincerely, (Your name)
