Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has proposed an ambitious effort to boost the amount of clean, renewable energy the US uses to 33 percent by no later than the year 2027.
This could be a revolutionary step forward in protecting our air, water, wildlife, and the rest of the planet for future generations.
You may already know that koalas and polar bears are feeling the heat from climate change. But the damage doesn't stop with animals.
According to a UN report on climate change, human beings and the economy also face peril.
People living in poverty, in particular, are most at risk of suffering from these effects as the constant shifts in weather damage crops and increase food prices.
Transitioning to clean, renewable energy sources like solar and wind will help avert a climate catastrophe. Even better, it would create badly needed jobs, which will boost the world economy.

Dear Decision Maker, As someone who cares about our planet, I fully support Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's proposed increase in the use of clean, renewable energy to 33 percent by the year 2027! Our planet and all of its inhabitants face extreme hardship if climate change -- and the reliance on fossil fuels that feeds it -- are not handled immediately. Crops are being destroyed by unpredictable weather changes caused by global climate change. Other plants and animals are facing extinction as their natural habitats are destroyed. Indeed even human beings, especially those living in poverty, face the dire consequences of not being able to afford food, as the prices rise due to an imbalance in supply/demand ratios. This isn't a partisan issue. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all need to face and address the rapidly growing problem associated with not doing everything within our power to ween ourselves off fossil fuels and address climate change. [Your comments] Sincerely, [Your name]
