What is 1Sky?

1Sky's goal is to build a diverse, society-wide mobilization that will convince our federal government to take bold action by 2010. To identify the steps that our leaders need to take in order to shift our nation away from global warming and toward the prosperity of a green economy, we've engaged a network of leading scientists and economists to create the 1Sky Solutions.

* CREATE 5 MILLION GREEN JOBS in order to conserve 20% of our energy by 2015.

* FREEZE CLIMATE POLLUTION levels now, then cut by at least 25% below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050.

* NO NEW COAL PLANTS that emit global warming pollution; invest in renewable energy.

To create the momentum we need to convince our leaders to adopt these solutions by 2010, we are engaged in an unprecedented collaborative effort involving hundreds of national environmental groups, state and local organizations, business, religious, health, social justice and military leaders, scientists, economists, elected officials, donors, celebrities and citizens nationwide. From mayors to students, from hunters to pastors, from CEOs to environmental activists, we will create a coherent and coordinated movement that our leaders cannot ignore.

ONE GOAL: BOLD FEDERAL CLIMATE CHANGE LEGISLATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
