Re: “Greenhouse gases hit record as activists roll to U.N. climate summit,” Sept. 19 news story.
It was inspiring to read your story about Coloradans traveling to New York to urge leaders to act to solve global warming. I was one of the hundreds of thousands of participants in the People’s Climate March, and it was incredible to see so many hopeful people in one place.
The march is just the beginning, however. We must continue to press leaders to act to limit global warming pollution and accelerate our transition to clean energy.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed Clean Power Plan is a chance for us to keep up the pressure and put our leaders to the test. The proposal puts limits on carbon pollution from power plants, and would be the biggest step America has ever taken to fight global warming.
Getting this plan across the finish line is the sort of action the march intended to catalyze. Now letap get it done.
