Some form of a carbon tax may be our last hope to deal preventatively with climate change. There is no Plan B. Lobbying for it is a concrete action local citizens can take. If you want to get behind this important initiative, here’s your chance to learn more. Also participating will be Iona Lutey, the Northeast Regional Coordinator of the Citizens Climate Lobby, a principal sponsor of the carbon tax and dividend.
