Tell the Senate to Keep it Green
Tens of thousands of you spoke out and helped pass an historic green economic investment plan out of the House of Representatives. But now we need to fight back an effort by polluters and make sure President Obama's economic recovery program is clean and green.
Send a message to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, then pass it on to your friends and colleagues.
Recent actions and results
Environment America was successful in persuading the International Codes Council to increase the energy efficiency of their national model codes. The 2009 IECC will make new homes up to 20 percent more energy efficient.
More state action
The Maryland House of Delegates recently passed House Bill 315, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act. The bill requires Maryland to reduce its global warming pollution 25 percent below 2006 levels by the year 2020. These reductions will be achieved through energy efficiency programs, increased transportation options, recycling, and incentives for green buildings, as well as pre-existing provisions established in the Healthy Air Act and the Clean Cars Act. Environment Maryland championed this bill and applauds the efforts of the Maryland State Government to reduce global warming pollution.
