We did it! Stimulus bill includes green initiatives
Dear Rahman,
Good news! Earlier today, President Obama signed the economic
stimulus bill into law with the majority of the funding
for clean energy and other key green initiatives intact.
This is truly good news for both our economy and our
environment.
I want to thank you again for helping to make this
possible. The SaveOurEnvironment.org community barraged
its members of Congress with tens of thousands of emails in
support of the green investments. The donations we received also
enabled us to keep the pressure on Congress to protect the
crucial green investments until the bitter end.
Here are a few more details on how the final economic stimulus
bill will help bolster our economy while protecting our
environment, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and cutting
global warming pollution.
The $26.86 billion investment in energy
efficiency will help to kick-start the economy by
creating more than half a million jobs and saving hundreds of
billion of dollars in wasted energy costs;
The $18.95 billion it includes for green
transportation, including public transit and high-speed
rail projects, will put more than 300,000 people to work
building the transportation solutions we need to cut greenhouse
gas pollution; and
The $32.80 billion the bill includes for clean energy
projects will help significantly reduce global warming
pollution and cut down on pollution to rivers, lakes, and
coastal waters, making them safe for drinking water, swimming,
and fishing.
This is an important first step towards rebuilding our
economy while protecting our planet.
You've been an incredible ally in this struggle. Thank you
again for helping to ensure that our country makes the right
investments in our future when we need them most.
Feel free to share the good news!
Sincerely,
Michael Town
