 Quote of the Day

"We are a nation -- a people -- who remember our heroes. We take seriously our responsibility to only send them when war is necessary. We strive to care for them and their families when they come home. We never forget their sacrifice. And we believe that it's never too late to say thank you."

Tell Us: Why Do You #ActOnClimate? 

The effects of climate change can no longer be denied or ignored -- 2014 was the planet's warmest year recorded, and 14 of the 15 hottest years on record have happened this century.

Climate change poses risks to our national security, our economy, and our public health. The President has already taken steps to address climate change, but there's more that the United States and the international community can do.

And every single one of us has an important part to play.
