Volunteers attending the Citizens Climate Lobby 2012 International Conference will hear from renowned global economist Jeffrey Sachs, who recently wrote, “Our collective capacity to destroy the planet's life-support systems is unprecedented. Yet the consequences of our individual actions are typically so far removed from our daily awareness that we can go right over the cliff without even knowing it.”

Citizens Climate Lobby is asking Congress to enact legislation that will place a revenue-neutral fee on carbon-based fuels, thereby accelerating the shift to clean energy and energy efficiency. Volunteers coming to Washington will meet with 300 congressional offices to press for a bi-partisan bill.
