ENVIRONNMENTAL AWARENESS

It’s true that our planet has natural cycles and also true that we have neglected care of our home and must do better. The Green New Deal lays out a solid plan for collectively investing in our planet and nation. According to a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) we have an estimated 20 years to repair the damage done to our environment. We need to reduce global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2040 with an estimated cost of nothing less than 2.5 percent of global GDP. To help pay this tremendously large bill, the authors propose a worldwide carbon tax of as much as $27,000 per ton. When our citizens are educated about restorative and sustainable best practices already proven successful in other countries we can move to action to realize our vision. We have the experts and innovative solutions right here on U.S. soil and the focus should be to call them to action. Crystal will restore the Environmental Protection Agency by appointing and hiring leadership whose #1 focus is responsibility to our planet and citizens.
