Global Warming Solutions

For Pennsylvania, global warming could mean everything from more heat-related deaths to the loss of native plant and animal species.

Thankfully, through clean energy solutions like wind power and energy efficiency, we can tackle this problem while repowering our economy.

In the coming months, Congress could act for the first time in the nation's history to cut global warming pollution by advancing a variety of clean energy solutions.  PennEnvironment is working to ensure that our members of Congress support this initiative, while also working at the state level to implement a global warming plan that cuts our pollution here at home.  But we need your help to make these things happen.
