Bannering: Stop Military Co2 Emissions Now!

Join us in our bannering at 34th Avenue over Highway 62.  We are bringing attention to how the military is one of the world’s largest polluters. “The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University estimates that the U.S. military has emitted roughly 1.2 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions since the global war on terror began in 2001 (Darby, 2019). This level of greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to operating 257 million passenger cars annually. The carbon emissions from war-related activity in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Syria is projected to have reached 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide through 2019 (Darby, 2019).”  Organized by the Climate Justice Committee and endorsed by the Anti-War Committee.
