Your Life, Better

Our planet and our food are too important to leave to monopoly rule. Change may not be profitable for Big Oil and Big Ag, but it is possible. “The climate crisis is not only the single greatest challenge facing our country; it is also our single greatest opportunity to build a more just and equitable future,” said Bernie Sanders in a written statement. We put people on the moon fifty years ago, and we “can sure as hell transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to 100 percent renewables today and create millions of jobs in the process,” reads his website.

We must demand that our government end Big Oil subsidies and investments, divest from fossil fuels, require Big Oil to help fund the transition to sustainability, and open up opportunity to green innovators. The new climate movement is about saying “yes” to shared prosperity and a more equitable distribution of power.

By joining a grassroots movement applying pressure on lawmakers and regulators to do their job or get fired, you would no longer feel helpless.

When the people prevail, your climate anxiety wanes. You enjoy the political stability that comes with your fellow Americans having good green jobs and hope. Most important, you can tell your kids that the world’s grown-ups are doing everything they possibly can to protect them.

When you go to the grocery store, you know the food being sold is safe and healthy for you and your family. Children who eat school lunch get the nutrition their young bodies need to learn and to grow into healthy adults. Your food supply is diversified and safer, recalls are smaller in scope, and farming helps save the future of humanity rather than endanger it. This vision of what life could look like may seem unrealistic, but the alternative—staying the course under monopoly rule—is far more so.
