To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Congress: pass a budget that gives us clean energy and clean food.
Congress: over 88% of Americans want clean energy and clean food. Pass a budget to address this.
Why is this important?
88% of Americans want global warming reduced - AP poll, Dec 2012 - and 92% of Americans want food labeled - NYTimes poll, July 2013. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE MUST PREVAIL.
This petition demands a FEDERAL BUDGET that requires military spending be cut by $200 BL - less than one third - to be diverted to this initiative, developing a CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE, due to the national security risks of our climate change threat, as recognized by military leaders. This would fulfill Lester Brown's PLAN B, as described in his book, Plan B, 4.0, focusing on the restoration of US soil, forests and fisheries, encouraging population stabilization worldwide, adding in the new concern of ocean acidification.
This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE would also require the implementation of all 50 of the 100% Renewable Energy blueprints, state by state, starting with the one published in the Energy Policy Journal, in March 2013 for the state of NY, by Jacobson et al. The lead author of this series of blueprints is Stanford environmental engineer, Professor Mark Z. Jacobson. These 50 blueprints are now available at www.theSolutionsProject.org .
This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE further requires parallel action legislatively, with the passage of climate bills S329 and S332, putting a price on carbon and eliminating subsidies to Fossil Fuel, making the market fair to accelerate renewables into the market to reach 80% renewable energy by 2030, and headed towards 100% by 2050.
This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE would also require the passage of an updated Farm Bill, ensuring America is headed to being a 100% organic agricultural nation by 2050, making our food sources humanely and locally grown, with biodiversity, and to appropriate scale. This ensures our agricultural soil is nutritionally sound, and can reabsorb atmospheric carbon, currently at an atmospheric carbon level of 400 parts per million, drawing that level down to 350 parts per million, as determined necessary by climate and earth scientists globally, to stabilize planet Earth, making it habitable long-term, for all living forms.
This CLIMATE INFRASTRUCTURE, to be reflected in our FEDERAL BUDGET, would determine for we Americans, the necessary balance of human activity with the natural world, for a sustainable and healthy future, showing global leadership, on this increasingly dangerous and growing threat to our long-term well-being.
