Below is the up to date draft of the statement SJSF will be encouraging people, politicians, and community groups to sign onto..
"Burning fossil fuels threatens the health of our communities, the integrity of our climate, and the stability of our world. As an organization that has stake in a just and stable future, we recognize that society must stop burning fossil fuels as fast as we can. We also recognize the imperative to stop burning coal first, the dirtiest of all fuels. We join the call for the leaders of Massachusetts to phase out coal by 2015 and replace it with increased efficiency, reduced demand, and 100% clean, renewable electricity by 2020.We understand the importance and opportunities in transitioning towards a low-carbon future where sustainability and justice prevail in our communities.”
Awesome draft!!! And a new, more formal declaration to be presented to the U.S. delegates in Cancun was was just written expressing similar sentiments by the larger SJSF group! Good work people, and lets sustain the climate even if we can't make a profit doing it!
