"You don’t need to convince me to fight global warming. I’m already with you. You need to reach others and convince them." We hear that a lot from our online activists and members. We get it and we’re doing something about it.

In the last several years, we’ve deployed scores of on-the-ground organizers and communication specialists in key swing states to recruit unlikely allies. Our new 10-minute video, "Cap. Trade. Grow.", is part of that effort.

There are loads of videos out there highlighting the threat and urgency of global warming. Our video takes a different tack. We focus on the business opportunities inherent in developing global warming solutions, and the national security issues tied to our reliance on foreign oil. Take a look.
