We share the concern of millions that we may be unable to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases fast enough to stop global warming, despite worldwide efforts to reduce the use of fossil fuels, encourage renewable energy, design energy-efficient buildings, and slow population growth.

We believe it is feasible to cut use of energy and greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 by complementing these efforts with a worldwide movement to encourage higher-density “Smart Growth” in cities and suburbs that makes it easier for people to walk, bike, or use “low carbon” electric transportation vehicles powered by renewable energy to get around.

We support sustainable growth that preserves environmental and fiscal resources for future generations.
