I sent this letter to LA times: Hooray! 200 nations have agreed on limiting hydroflurocarbons. This whole process was started when Ronald Reagan embraced the 1987 Montreal Protocol that phased out chloro-flourocarbons (CFCs). Reagan said he didn't really understand the science, but if there was a chance that scientists were correct about the hole in the ozone, we needed to take steps to limit the damage. Let's continue bi-partisan support for all measures to slow climate change. My next choice would be carbon pricing. That will reduce more CO2 to keep our planet livable. -

Grace lorentzen 9/05/2016 8:04 PMI've been doing small things for years: solar panels church and home, electric car, native plant gardens, short showers etc, but I realized that while these small things help, and set a good example, it is not enough. A year ago, I found Citizens Climate Lobby. Now I have a positive goal to get US Congress to Pass Carbon Fee and Dividend.
