THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE WORSE (AND MORE EXPENSIVE) IT WILL BE 62. A strong majority of US citizens across the country wants climate action 63. but a majority in our Congress doesn't even admit its happening 64. We can have a healthy high quality futureif we act now.* *but we're almost out of time. 65. HEALTHY PEOPLE = HEALTHY PLANETwww.climate911.org
