Last year, 26 major corporations-including General Electric, Ford Motor Company, and Duke Energy-called on Congress to pass aggressive climate legislation that will help significantly reduce global warming pollution. These leaders recognize that implementing solutions to global warming is smart for business. Strong climate policy will spur investments in clean energy technologies, create new jobs, and reduce our dependence on oil.

Now, small businesses are joining this call to action. Congress needs to hear directly from the business community that we can protect the climate and boost the economy at the same time. Please urge local businesses and your local Chamber of Commerce to sign our call to action today.

If you own a business, please sign the letter. If you don’t own a business, please print a copy of the letter (pdf) and ask businesses in your community to sign. Businesses may sign the letter by filling out the online form at http://www.ucsusa.org/forms/business-sign-on.html or emailing their information to mla@ucsusa.org.

Then urge your local Chamber of Commerce to sign on as well.
We need your help to spread the word. Together, we can prevent dangerous warming while we grow the U.S. economy.

Sincerely,

Kate Abend
