#Coal

Coal is in decline, but not fast enough. It continues to fuel climate change, supercharge extreme weather, poison our air and consume precious fresh water.

We can be the generation that ends the age of coal.

We can have 100% sustainable renewable energy, giving us the power we need without hurting us, our children or our planet.

Things you can do

We want you to take action because together we're strong.
