SEATTLE - Weyerhaeuser and Nike are joining other Northwest companies and environmental groups to urge the U.S. Senate to pass a climate and energy bill.
The bill is aimed at cutting greenhouse gases, reducing oil imports and creating energy-related jobs.
Representatives from the companies spoke during a teleconference Thursday organized by Climate Solutions, an environmental advocacy group that says hundreds of Northwest businesses support the legislation.
