Waterkeeper Alliance is an organization I’ve been supporting for a few years because they understand the link between the destruction of waterways, oceans, and aquifers, and the corrupt practices and influence of the fossil fuel industries. We have the power to shift to healthier practices and organizations like Waterkeeper Alliance point the way. Please check them out and give them some support. Thanks for caring.

More from Waterkeeper:

2015 is on track to be the hottest year on record with severe drought drying up water resources all over the world. And yet, the hotter and drier it gets, the more the fossil fuel industries tell us that we need more oil, gas and even coal, whose value as a commodity is plummeting, to keep our economy going. They tell us to invest in new and extreme fossil energies so that jobs and prosperity will bloom all around the world.

But here’s the truth: we don’t need the fossil fuel industries. They need us to keep buying into their dirty business model that is fueling inequality and the climate crisis. That’s why the global transition to low carbon clean energy is well underway, and a growing number of people are using a divest/invest strategy to protect global water resources while accelerating affordable access to clean and renewable energy.

If you’re ready to reject financial gain from climate chaos and invest in clean water, pledge today to join the growing Divest-Invest movement:

-Stop investing in climate change.

-Drop coal, oil, and gas from your investment portfolio.

-Roll a portion of your investments into climate solutions like clean energy, sustainable agriculture, local business, and many others.

-Support Waterkeeper Alliance’s Clean and Safe Energy campaign.

That’s why Waterkeeper Alliance is joining a coalition to support Divest-Invest Pledge Month. Together with partners like 350.org and Daily Kos we invite you to join tens of thousands of people across the economic spectrum cutting financial ties with fossil fuel companies that prioritize their own short-term gains over our health, safety, and security. Why risk losing your money when the carbon bubble bursts and fossil fuel assets become stranded when we can divest and invest in sustainable solutions that will catalyze political and financial shifts?

Own what you own. Help yourself and others you love avoid financial losses, align investments with your values, and accelerate the transition to save lives and planet.

Click here to start your Divest Invest journey and pledge personally to go fossil free (no matter how big or small your assets). Together we are creating a healthy and safe planet for all.

Your pledge to divest and invest makes you a leader today, and sets the stage for action tomorrow.
