Clean Water Action is working to make a clean, renewable energy economy a reality in Minnesota and on the national level. We advocate for strong, science-based policies both in the State Legislature and Congress.
In the state, Clean Water Action advocates for a variety of clean energy policies, focused primarily on Cap, Auction and Trade legislation - to reduce Global Warming pollution quickly and effectively.
On the national level, Clean Water Action has partnered with the 1Sky Campaign, which is a bold, national movement for climate solutions. In order to achieve its goal of passing meaningful national climate legislation by 2010, 1Sky is working with allies across Minnesota and the US to unite Americans behind a clear vision and a simple platform for solutions at the scale of the problem. The 1Sky policy platform is designed to do what our best scientists say is necessary to stabilize our endangered climate and revitalize our economy.

The 1Sky priorities are:

• Reduce Global Warming pollution at least 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and at least 80% by 2050
• Create 5 million new green jobs and pathways out of poverty focused on climate solutions and energy efficiency
• Impose a moratorium on new coal plants that emit Global Warming pollution and end our dependence on oil through strong standards and incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy

Take Action with the 1Sky Campaign
We believe that educating our communities and organizing within them are the tools for success. To get active, contact organizer Jenna Garland about hosting a (free) Global Warming House Party in your home, church, or organization to learn more about what we can do as individuals to decrease our energy use and help mitigate Global Warming.
