Did you know we subsidize the absolute hell out of the fossil fuel industry? Your tax money is getting siphoned off to pay to pollute your air. It's what I call a double whammy. We're gonna go through some seriously trash ads, some bad arguments, and end the thing with a few real live boomer-style phone calls. Following the playbook from Climate Changemakers here: https://www.climatechangemakers.org/issue-briefing-ffs https://www.climatechangemakers.org/action-hub

FIRST OF ALL, the full 2:40 cut is on our TikTok right here (https://www.tiktok.com/@climatetown/video/7136249055935778094) This bill is about to Create and extend clean energy tax Credits, Increase public transit; give people money to make energy efficient improvements to their homes and businesses, it creates a federal Green Bank for climate projects; Invests in clean energy for rural communities; it drops a cool $60 billion in environmental justice priorities, Develops more efficient airplane fuel; Makes affordable housing more efficient and resilient, Funds agricultural conservation; punishes methane polluters, Protects old growth National Forests; Restores and protects coastal communities and marine habitats, Create union jobs and increase worker protections; Lowers energy costs for Americans; Forces polluters to pay for emergency cleanups and hazardous waste sites, it reestablishes some of America’s credibility on climate in the international community, AND it pays for itself by taxing corporations. This is a hot bill. Since I know you like videos, check out Hank Green's LONG Climate bill explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw5zzrOpo2s Here's a big breakdown on the point-by-point: https://www.evergreenaction.com/blog/evergreen-explains-the-climate-impact-of-the-inflation-reduction-act Here's a memo about the points: https://www.evergreenaction.com/documents/The-Climate-Impact-of-the-IRA.pdf AT THE SAME TIME, it continues the tradition of absolutely failing to protect lower income and disadvantaged communities that are about to host new fossil fuel projects. We're talking new cases of asthma, new air pollution, new heart and lung disease, etc. It's a mixed bag is what I'm saying, but it's definitely at least a rare W.

Write a little note to tell them how you feel. Get creative. But maybe something like: 'Hey guy, I noticed you’re loaning billions of your customers’ dollars to the fossil fuel industry. I don’t like that. And if you don’t stop right away, I’m taking my money and going home.' Oh, and FIRE UP THESE HASHTAGS & HANDLES: #DontBankOnIt #StopTheMoneyPipeline #BankingOnClimateChaos #NoMoreDirtyBanks #CustomersForClimateJustice #EarthDay2022 #InvestInOurPlanet #BetterBanking Tag the banks: @Chase @Citi @WellsFargo @BankOfAmerica @MorganStanley @GoldmanSachs 2) If you don’t want your money financing oil & gas companies, SWITCH YOUR BANK. Look into climate friendly regional banks and credit unions with transparent lending policies, or take a look at options like Atmos [https://www.joinatmos.com/] that actively finance climate solutions. Be aware of greenwashing, and check out https://mightydeposits.com/posts/environmentally-friendly-banks and https://bankforgood.org for even more options. 3) PROTEST. LEARN. SIGN THINGS.

We think it’d be pretty cool to harness our amazing community’s collective power and enthusiasm and make a gosh dang difference. We just created a channel called “#ukraine-war” (https://discord.gg/HCu7CRSn5t), where you can share info about how to help the citizens of Ukraine, or call out the organizations trying to profit from the tragedy, or even share a link that we missed to help other Climate Townies stay informed.

We just created a channel called “#zoning” (https://discord.gg/cqRpTpeAH2), where you can drop by and tell us how your local zoning meeting smelled, or share a link that we missed to help other Climate Townies affect change in their community.

We're happy too see General Motors pivoting to electric vehicles after making countless bad decisions for the environment including torpedoing clean air legislation and funding climate denial. That being said, I sincerely hope GM is on the right path here.

We've totally beefed it on climate policy for 30 years, let's try a new approach. sUbScRiBe FoR mOrE ViDes: https://www.youtube.com/c/climatetown?sub_confirmation=1 PATREON PAGE: https://www.patreon.com/ClimateTown First and foremost, thank you so much for taking that little trip down memory lane with me. It's easy to forget that there was a time when the greenhouse effect wasn't politically controversial, and Exxon was the world leader in climate science. There's probably a good utopian novel about what would have happened if a few things had gone differently. Oh well.

It's going to take an effort on the scale of the new deal (but like a ... I dunno, green one or something) and we'll need to keep climate change front of mind for the foreseeable future if we want to have a shot of pressuring corporations and government into doing the right thing.
