TPP and CITI, good or bad? - The Climate Minute Podcast
Sunday Feb 22, 2015
Sunday Feb 22, 2015
First, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) Treaty is being negotiated with little public scrutiny. We aim the change that! Second, what should a Climate Hawk think about CitiGroup’s plan to spend $100B on clean energy?
Here are the links:
• Carla Smith lays out a Labor position.
• Public Citizen explains the TPP
• Wiki Leaks provides the text of the proposed environmental chapter.
• Robert Reich explains it all for you. He even gives a video.
• The Whitehouse provides it’s own explanation.
• John Oliver makes it real by examining Big Tobacco's antics. (Watch this!!!)
• Read about CitiGroup’s plan here or here. Then consider British Petroleum's new statements.
Don’t forget to sign up for the Local Environmental Action Conference. Sunday, March 15, 2015, 9am-6pm, at Northeastern University's Curry Student Center.
Local Environmental Action 2015 is a great opportunity to join community leaders, environmental advocates and activists from across New England for an exciting day of skills training, networking, and inspiration. Whether you have been to every conference or are attending for the first time, be sure not to miss this amazing opportunity to connect and grow our grassroots movement.

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.
Thanks for listening.
