There's no doubt that humans have altered the climate. That's particularly bad for Nevada, the driest state in the nation with triple-digit summers. If we don't act, we'll keep getting hotter and drier, facing a decreased water supply, health impacts from extreme heat, and the loss of habitat as a result. Nevada can lead the nation down a smarter path. We can leave a sustainable legacy to future generations that also diversifies and strengthens our local economy:
* Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by investing in clean transportation and improving public transit

* Keep It In The Ground - Halt new oil and gas drilling and focus on clean energy

* Become the global leader for water conservation and innovation

* Protect and promote access to our public lands and waters

* Reduce waste and cut down on single-use items like bags, straws, and cups

* Decrease our exposure to toxic chemicals in food, water, and air; at work, at home and in the wild
