Climate change has affected all parts of the world, human health, and the environment. If we don’t come together to stop this, there will be serious damage that we won’t be able to undo. The best way to combat this issue is with the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act.

This bill is supported by both Republicans and Democrats alike. With this plan a fee would be placed on carbon at the source, starting at $15 per metric tonne. Then the price would be raised by $10 each year. Then when this money collected, it would be returned equally among households to help change from fossil fuels to clean energy.

During the first 12 years under this plan, the emissions rate in the US will fall by at least 40 percent. It will also create 2.1 million jobs and improve the health of all Americans. A bipartisan bill is what we need to combat climate change. To learn more visit, citizensclimatelobby.com.
