We can’t use technology to reverse or detain #ClimateChange without cutting carbon emissions by eliminating fossil fuel use. #Geoengineering is a dangerous distraction. It does not address the root causes of the climate crisis – the drive for unlimited economic growth.

"This transition must not be done without considering workers in the fossil fuel industry and this transition must ensure no worker is left behind” - Nick Oviedo Torres Mass Renews Alliance (2/2)

“Our support & that of environmental community for these bills represents a historic shift. In the past there has been a lot of public debate about jobs v. the enviro. We have spent years building bridges & common ground around shared values in economic, racial, and EJ priorities

"These clean energy jobs have to be good paying jobs like the jobs we have today in the gas industry. We need to protect gas workers until and when this transition happens - and we haven’t always done that in the past" - John Buonopane USW Gas Workers 12012-04 United Steelworkers Union

“We can and must do more to create high road jobs that support strong workforce standards and protect workers who stand to lose work as we transition away from fossil fuels.” – Lee Matsueda Community Labor United

A must-watch video featuring a New England worker on why green jobs need to be good jobs. #climatejobs #offshorewind
