Finding Your Climate Voice: A Vital Conversation With Deborah McNamara
Change the Chamber
Young adults pursuing an equitable future, empowering others to do the same and calling out those who stand in our way!
In this episode of the "Let's Talk About Climate" podcast, former National Climate Fellow William Felix talks with Deborah McNamara , Co-Executive Director of ClimateVoice, about the urgent need to strengthen climate policy and corporate climate action. They shine a light on a jarring truth: fossil fuel companies funnel over 50% of lobbying dollars to obstruct climate progress, while the tech industry only dedicates 4-6% towards supporting climate policies.?
McNamara asserts that environmentally-conscious companies must bolster advocacy efforts to counter obstructionist influences like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. She spotlights ClimateVoice's hard-hitting "Escape the Chamber" campaign, pressuring Chamber members to withdraw and lead the passage of ambitious climate legislation instead. Employees have critical influence to drive corporate climate accountability, McNamara emphasizes, by demanding their employers match sustainability commitments with lobbying activities. This episode underscores that sustainability pledges without policy engagement ring hollow. Progress depends on the collective action of climate-concerned businesses and their empowered workforces influencing policymakers, not soundbites.
Leading Environmental Innovator Reducing Carbon Emissions with New Technology
1 年Environmental Energy LLC,'s U.S. Patent is THE MISSING LINK to UNNEC-CESSARRY VEHICLE IDLING dramatically reducing CO2 emissions around the Globe clearing the air we all breathe while saving millions of lives around the world caused by CLIMATE INJUSTICE. It will have the EXACT same INSTANT IMPACT as did COVID for months. Our US "Final Patent" "System of Information accomplishes exactly that by! THE TEN SECOND RULE The U.S. D.O.E.'s link below says, "If you're going to idle your vehicle for more than ten seconds, manually shut off your engines". The D.O.E link continues, "30 million tons of CO2 and 6 Billion gallons of gas are wasted and if you're going to idle your vehicles MORE THAN TEN SECONDS, SHUT YOUR ENGINES OFF at fast-foods". DO THE MATH! Six billion gallons of gasoline at an average of $4.00 per gallon, that's $24,000,000,000.00 dollars "GONE WITH WIND" EVERY YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES "ALONE". https://afdc.energy.gov/files/u/publication/idling_personal_vehicles.pdf?source=post_page THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ALONE, is a win win for everyone not even including the everyday savings on increased gasoline mileage, savings on auto maintenance, repairs and much more.
