It’s time to start clicking clean


Together, with the help of the tech industry, we can turn the Internet green.

Sign our petition for a greener Internet.

Take action today.

greenpeaceThe Internet is how we connect, learn new things, and share what we love. But right now much of our Internet is also dirty, no matter how we use it.

Data centers are where Internet companies store our photos, messages, and music, and many are powered by coal and dirty energy sources that pollute our environment and harm our climate.

What’s worse — the Internet’s demand for energy is only growing bigger. If the Internet were a country, its electricity use would already rank sixth in the world.

Take action for a greener Internet today.

With your help, we’ve already gotten Facebook and Apple to power their corner of the internet with renewable energy. But other companies are still using coal and other dirty energy.

That’s why we’re launching this campaign starting with the CEOs of major social media companies like Twitter and Pinterest to commit to 100 percent renewable energy and make a real impact on stopping climate change. But for our request to stick and for other companies to follow, it’s critical that their users — YOU! — demand this change.

Add your name to a growing movement of Internet users demanding a clean, renewable answer from companies like Twitter and Pinterest to this dirty data problem. Sign now to tell big tech companies that you want a green internet!

We’re confident that we can turn these companies and several others into leaders in the clean energy revolution — because we’ve done it before. Just last year after hearing from supporters like you  tech giants Facebook and Apple committed to powering up with renewable energy like wind and solar.

Since then, our team has spent months and months researching and ranking companies on their online energy footprint. Yesterday, we revealed who’s leading the charge and who’s falling behind. This will mark the first time several of these companies have ever heard from Greenpeace so they need to hear our collective voices, loud and clear.

To truly combat global warming in the next decade, we need the tech industry to lead the charge in renewable energy investment.

Sign today and we’ll be one step closer to powering the Internet with clean, renewable energy. Together, we can create a greener online so we can enjoy a greener offline!

The tech industry is in a powerful position to make a real impact on stopping global warming if companies switch to abundant clean energy available like wind and solar.

If we gather together now, we’ll have the power to flip dozens of online companies from dirty to clean. Join with us today.


For a greener offline,

Greenpeace USA Campaigns Director

P.S. Don’t worry — this email was sent on a clean server. We now need your voice to make social media companies like Twitter and Pinterest to commit to 100 percent renewable energy too. Join the green Internet movement today and be part of something big.

The light bulb in your child’s bedside lamp that has been replaced with a CFL accidentally falls over, and the bulb breaks…the mercury in that CFL is so toxic that according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s website you should: Leave the room. Kick out the kids and pets. And whatever you do, don’t vacuum. Don’t vacuum? What if it breaks on carpet?…

Reform Immigration FOR America


 

In the last few months we have dominated the news cycle, turned up the heat on House Republicans, and moved House Democrats to file a discharge petition that could force a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. We’ve made it clear that we are not backing down. Our fight is far from over and we need your leadership and support for the next battle in this campaign.

Will you join us on Thursday, April 3 at 7PM EST/4PM PST (8PM EST/5PM PST in Spanish) to discuss the strategy to win and our next steps to end the deportations and force a vote on citizenship?

Join activists across the country, coalition partners, and immigration champion Representative Steven Horsford (D-NV) to discuss the strategic next steps of our campaign to win reform. Our movement has made it this far because of you. You are the heart of this campaign, and together we will get across the finish line.

Join us on Thursday, April 3 at 7pm EST/4PT PST (8PM EST/5PM PST for Spanish) to help us win the fight for comprehensive immigration reform!

With hope,

Donna De La Cruz

Thank you, Governor Inslee HB1840


 

Today is a special day. 3/28/2014

Minutes ago, Governor Jay Inslee signed HB 1840 into law, a bill we fought very, very hard to pass.

It will save lives by ensuring that people currently under restraining orders or subject to similar protective orders will have to temporarily turn in their firearms if the court feels they’re a threat.

Say Thanks!

It’s a very simple — but very powerful — reform that will save lives while preserving the rights of gun owners. This is exactly the kind of commonsense reform that we wanted to make a reality when we created the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility.

Please take a moment to join me, and sign our thank you card for Governor Inslee.

Thank you for your support.
