Yesterday, Wednesday, October 28, volunteers walked business-to-business in Uptown, giving out treats and asking owners and managers of local shops to support their “clean energy trick-or-treat” by taking two actions – displaying a sign, and signing a letter in support of clean energy legislation currently under consideration in the U.S. Senate.

The window signs read “We Support Clean Energy Jobs” and were placed in 30 stores throughout the neighborhood during the campaign yesterday. Of these businesses, 14 owners and managers also added their signatures to a letter urging passage of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act to Washington State U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell.
This act would reduce global warming pollution 20 percent by the year 2020, while also investing in new renewable energy installations, setting a national renewable energy standard, strengthening energy efficiency laws and promoting research in new energy technologies. The U.S. Senate began hearings on the legislation this week, meanwhile the coalition letter has been passed around and signed by hundreds of businesses nationwide.
“It’s just so important that our Senators know that businesses right here in Washington want clean energy,” campaign volunteer Emily Dreisbach said in a press release. “It’s not just the big wind and solar companies. We all know this is urgent – for the economy and for the environment.”

Thank you for helping to mobilize Washington! The United States needs clean energy legislation more every day and it won't happen until business and Americans stand up and demand it. We are just a few votes away from a clean energy economy that brings more jobs, national security and a cleaner environment for just a few dollars a month ($3-4 per family according to the CBO, EPA and EIA.)
Please contact Senators Murray and Cantwell to show your support and keep up the good work!
