We have solutions in hand right now to drastically cut global warming pollution. Act now, put clean, innovative energy technologies to use, and enact policies to encourage their rapid, widespread adoption and we can stop global warming in its tracks. Instead of nearly doubling U.S. global warming pollution by 2050, we can cut it by more than half using today's technology. And with the proper incentives in place, even more innovative solutions will emerge along the way, leading to even bigger reductions. There are many things you and your families can do in your daily life that can have an effect on your immediate surroundings, and on places as far away as Antarctica. Here is a list of things that you and your family and friends can do to make a difference. If you start taking action now, it will help to reduce global warming now and in the future. Starting today you too can help make a change!
