150 nations pollute less than
the U.S.
military. | | |
The U.S. Department of
Defense is destroying the planet. Cut military emissions
now! | | |
Vladimir,
In 2020, one single entity alone
was responsible for creating more than 52 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide emissions — more than the entire
country of Sweden. What entity was this? The
U.S. military. It turns out that weapons
of war are not just devastating for local families and
ecosystems in war-torn regions; they are also massively
contributing to the destruction of our entire planet.
In fact, the U.S. military is
more responsible for impacting climate change than 150
entire countries!
The military actually fully
understands this. Its staff have authored numerous
reports emphasizing the risk climate change
poses to both national and global security. Yet
year after year, while the military budget balloons,
hardly a dent is made in emissions reductions within
each of its branches. And government agencies that
could help save the environment? They often receive
pennies on the dollars needed. We are
running out of time to save the planet and to also avert
a huge international security
crisis. Sign the petition to demand
that the Department of Defense cut greenhouse gas
emissions and stop climate
catastrophe! | | |
