About the video
The climate crisis facing us grows worse each day and is an existential threat to our children and youth. We must move our economy away from a fossil-fuel base, and many economists believe the most efficient means of doing so is attach a fee to carbon to account for the emissions resulting from these fuels. Citizens Climate Lobby works to accomplish this through grass-roots advocacy for House Bill HR763 with local, state, and federal legislators.
