Stimulus Cares5 - Support Environmental Business
.jpg)
Sign this petition asking members of Congress to include a significant amount of the next Cares Act for businesses that build, install, or sell alternative energy projects; exclude oil and gas companies from receiving any of Cares4 funds.
Why is this important?
The Coronavirus crisis challenged Congress to pass four Cares bills to stimulate the economy, including small and large businesses, direct checks to individuals, and including some funds for hospitals and testing. These funds are important; some of the money went to large business and President Trump has indicated that significant funding in Cares5 must include significant funding for oil and gas producers and suppliers (billions of dollars). This would negatively damage the world's environment.
We can meet the needs of local and state governments as well as providing funds to individuals. We, in particular citizens, will survive the coronavirus crisis.
But will we survive the continued damage to our earth?
Cares4 must include significant funding for:
- renovating buildings to reduce energy use,
- construction and repair of roads and bridges using environmental standards -- standards to be included in the bill,
- providing buyers of new vehicles using alternative energy $5,000 rebates.
These areas provide well-paying jobs, advance actions that point to our future.
We can and will survive coronavirus -- we need to help our earth to survive.
