NWF President: Americans Must Demand Climate Action
Larry Schweiger, president & CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, recently did an interview with Lester Graham of The Environment Report:
Graham: Your book not only makes the case that the world of nature as we know it is worth saving, but you note some things that everyday folks can do—you can protect natural areas near you, talk back to news media, push the politicians, get your hands dirty, literally, by organic gardening at home, but I get the impression most of us are looking to someone else to solve this global problem, I mean after all, the Earth is just too darn big for any one of us to make much of a difference.
Schweiger: Well that’s a very important question because in America we assume that our government is gonna just solve our problems, but really what we need to do as Americans is we need to give voice to these problems, and demand that we see action. I think we need to step up and tell our lawmakers what we believe, what we want to see done.
