As someone who is concerned about the environment, it is important to be aware of the steps your government is taking regarding climate action.
According to the White House website, President Biden has taken some of the following actions:
Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is, “the most significant investment in U.S. history to tackle the climate crisis” (Whitehouse.gov 2024).
Encouraged companies to move towards green energy
U.S. investments in clean energy such as solar panel and electric vehicle manufacturing
The Inflation Reduction Act has made huge strides towards improving our climate. According to EarthJustice, “as the bill turns two, we can begin to measure its impact in terms of jobs created (334,000 and counting, with an economic value of $265 billion) and investment in reducing harmful pollution ($27 billion to cut emissions and advance clean energy projects)” (EarthJustice).
