Repairing America's infrastructure is a significant opportunity to create quality jobs. But it's also an opportunity to rebuild these systems to protect the health of workers and communities, to reduce carbon and methane emissions, and to build a stronger, more resilient system for the future.
Buy Clean policies promote spending taxpayer dollars on infrastructure supplies for materials that are manufactured in a cleaner, more efficient, climate friendly manner—helping to close the carbon loophole and rewarding companies that are doing things the right way. The BlueGreen Alliance launched a multi-state campaign to expand Buy Clean work to Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota and continue implementation efforts in California.
We can only achieve a thriving and fair clean economy if our international trade and climate agreements raise standards for workers, consumers, and the environment.
Throughout our history, the BlueGreen Alliance has worked not just domestically, but also on the international stage with leaders of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to find solutions for climate change that also create economic opportunity and a just transition for those impacted by this move to a clean, low-carbon economy.
