Climate Solutions is excited to support Referundum 52, which will appear on the Washington state ballot this November. Ref. 52 comes from the JOBS Act passed by the Legislature this April and will put people to work repairing schools across the state and making them more energy-efficient.

This measure is a win for jobs, schools and the environment. It will create almost 30,000 new construction jobs, provide our kids with a healthier learning environment, allow school districts to save millions of dollars in energy savings all while reducing pollution. The reductions in global warming pollution from this program is estimated to be equal to taking 130,000 cars off the road every year!

This program is the clean energy economy at work - creating family-wage jobs, saving money and conserving energy. We hope you'll join us in supporting Ref. 52!

To find out more about Ref. 52 including how you can get involved in the campaign, contact Beth Doglio, beth@climatesolutions.org or visit healthyschoolsforwa.org
