The largest source of carbon emissions in the U.S.

Pamela​, Earth Day is here, but let's be real. We need to think of every day as Earth Day if we're going to stop catastrophic climate change before it's too late.

Pamela, Earth Day is here, but let's be real. We need to think of every day as Earth Day if we're going to stop catastrophic climate change before it's too late.   Did you know that in the U.S., transportation is the largest source of carbon emissions, producing over 28% of greenhouse gases? Most of those emissions come from driving, so you'd think electric cars are the answer. Problem solved. Except, while electric cars would help reduce emissions, there's no way to electrify cars fast enough to prevent devastating outcomes of climate change. We need to not just think bigger. We have to be smarter. What America needs is zero emission transit policy, including zero emission bus fleets nationwide. And the best part about it, we don't have to wait. From Congress to City Hall, our elected leaders can make this happen right now. Join the National Campaign for Transit Justice in calling for full funding of zero emission transit policy and buses locally in your community and nationwide immediately. ADD YOUR NAME Reinventing public transit infrastructure is the key to fighting the global climate crisis and successfully tackling climate change in America. That's why investing in a future driven by zero emission transit policy is so crucial not just across the country, but right here in your own backyard. After all, one public bus reduces the carbon of 40 cars.1 You read that right, one bus is worth 40 cars in our nation's carbon footprint. And with Americans making almost 5 billion trips by bus a year, it's not hard to imagine the impact of making zero emission bus fleets mandatory nationwide. With President Biden's American Jobs Plan earmarking $85 billion for transit, there's never been a better time for Congress to hear from you. Join the National Campaign for Transit Justice in calling for full funding of zero emission transit policy and buses immediately. SIGN THE PETITION Zero emission transit policy is the key to making every day Earth Day. Thank you for doing your part in calling on our leaders to get it done. - LeeAnn LeeAnn Hall Director, National Campaign for Transit Justice 1 http://bic.asn.au/information-for-moving-people/climate-change-and-public-transport PAID FOR AND AUTHORIZED BY JUSTSTRATEGY, juststrategy.org.
