全球变暖解决方案

To promote global warming solutions, 伊利诺斯州的环境, along with our affiliates in 29 states, and members and activists in all 50 states are running these projects and campaigns:

目的地:零碳: We simply can't solve global warming without changing how Americans get around. To reach our destination, we’re aiming to make all new car sales electric by 2035, make all school and transit buses electric by 2030, and double the number of people who travel on foot, 自行车, or public transit by 2030.

化石燃料的免费的: Even as global warming accelerates, 主要的石油, gas and coal companies are sticking to business as usual. 幸运的是, a growing number of investors understand that the industry’s business model is incompatible with what scientists are telling us we must do to slow global warming. That’s why we’re supporting the fossil fuel divestment movement.

Each 伊利诺斯州的环境 campaign and project aims to protect our planet and our children from global warming a unique way. But they all share a common approach. Each campaign strives to:

Put the environment first. Global warming is an enormous threat. But it’s just one symptom of our unhealthy relationship to our environment. To meet the climate challenge, we must put the environment first. Through our research and public education, we’re working to shift more hearts and minds over to this point of view.

Take a strategic approach. We must think big and act boldly, but we recognize that progress comes one step at a time. Our focus is on making a difference in public policy and in our lives and our environment, not just making a statement.

建立在有效的基础上. 我们赢得了政策, actions and decisions that have resulted in reduced carbon pollution across the country. We know which policies work, how they can be improved, and what it takes to win their approval. As always, we’re also open to new ideas that work even better.

一起工作. We work to unite people from all across the political spectrum around action on global warming, whether it’s drivers who want to go electric or small business owners who can benefit from smart climate action programs. 伊利诺斯州的环境 advocates in the state build coalitions that include doctors and nurses, religious leaders and educators, and people from all walks of life. Our organizers and canvassers engage hundreds of thousands of people. As a part of a national federation, our advocates in Washington, D.C., lobby members of Congress from both parties.
