Lightbulbs to Leadership

Lightbulbs to Leadership

As the catastrophic consequences of inaction seep into the public consciousness people everywhere are starting to take steps to fight global warming. But it’s not enough to change light-bulbs and dispense with plastic bags — we need bold, fundamental, and rapid action on climate change — action as outlined at 1sky.org, CoolCities.us and Greenpeace’s Global Hotseat.

The increasingly radicalized Sierra Club is trying to galvanize its vast membership into providing the political force that can urgently focus the politicians’ attention with its Lightbulbs to Leadership Campaign.

As the catastrophic consequences of inaction seep into the public consciousness people everywhere are starting to take steps to fight global warming. But it’s not enough to change light-bulbs and dispense with plastic bags — we need bold, fundamental, and rapid action on climate change — action as outlined at 1sky.org, CoolCities.us and Greenpeace’s Global Hotseat.

The increasingly radicalized Sierra Club is trying to galvanize its vast membership into providing the political force that can urgently focus the politicians’ attention with its Lightbulbs to Leadership Campaign.

A major facet of this new campaign is a drive to get as many citizens as possible to weigh in on a federal proposal telling the major automotive companies to speed up their production of energy-efficient automobiles. Making cars go farther on a gallon of gas will save drivers money at the pump and cut global warming pollution. The deadline for public comment is July 1.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
