Support Obama's Environmental Plans!

You can help end Climate Change!

Plan #1

Obama plans to "Set tighter standards for ozone pollution that will deliver 2-4 dollars in benefits for every dollar spent" (1). This will help prevent childhood asthma,  reduce premature deaths, and cases of acute bronchitis. This is good for our economy because not only will it save the government money, but it will also keep our children healthier and safer. In the long term, it will lower healthcare costs, because people will be healthier (2). It is also an investment in the nation's children, who will support the economy in the future.

Plan #2

Obama "Launched Solar Ready Vets at ten U.S. military bases to train veterans for jobs in the solar power industry" (1). This is a direct investment in our American citizens. By supporting our veterans with this entitlement program, they are given an opportunity to continue working after they leave the military in a field that supports the environment.

Plan #3

Obama "reduced tariffs on environmental goods, which range from clean technology for air conditioners to wind turbines to bicycles" (1). This is called a subsidy. By reducing the taxes on these products, more businesses are going to produce more of these items. Not only does this help the economy by encouraging the use of renewable energy resources, energy "that will never run out" (2), but it also helps the environment by decreasing pollutants.
