On Oct. 27, more than 100 businesses launched the Washington Business Climate Declaration, citing "a clear and present need for action on climate change."

In the last week of October, Washington residents have a rare opportunity to raise our concerns about oil train safety and the prospect of even more unsafe oil trains rolling through our cities and towns. Attend a hearing in Spokane or Olympia and say no to big oil!

Aggressive city action can reduce global carbon emissions at least 10% by 2030, according to a C40 report at the UN Climate Summit. Across the US, we see examples of cities that are investing in clean energy and carbon reduction solutions.

On-the-ground urban carbon reduction strategies are essential with or without carbon pricing, as they are the bricks-and-mortar pathways to a low-carbon future.

Worldwide switch to clean power would save $1.8 trillion, rainforests store less carbon once they’re fragmented, WA carbon tax would pay steady dividends, and other stories of the week in clean energy solutions.
